Scientists have detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...

Scientists have identified microplastics in over two-thirds of ovarian follicular fluid and more than half of semen samples, suggesting widespread internal exposure. The findings spotlight a growing ...

Microplastics are thousands of times smaller than a grain of rice, and they can wreak havoc on the human reproductive system. A new study found them in the testes of both humans and dogs. The rise of ...

Scientists have found significant quantities of microplastics present in human and canine testicles, raising concerns surrounding their potential impact on the human reproductive system. Microplastics ...

The seat of human life, a reproductive system that includes the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva, is often shrouded in mystery, subjected to regulation, or seen as an anchor for social and ...

Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...

No human organ is safe from microplastic contamination, it seems — not even the testicles. Researchers at the University of New Mexico recently tested 70 samples of testicular tissue — 47 from dogs ...

Declining female fertility is a health issue that has received broad global attention. Oocyte quality is the key limiting factor of female fertility, and factors affecting oocyte quality involve the ...
