Brainstem Neurons Are the "Missing Link" Between Stress and Infertility

Scientists suggest that a new study identifies the “missing link between stress and infertility”. The research has confirmed in laboratory testing that a population of nerve cells near the base of the brain – the RFRP neurons – become active in stressful situations and then suppress the reproductive system.

"Intermediate" Pluripotent Stem Cells Created

A team led by UT Southwestern has derived a new “intermediate” embryonic stem cell type from multiple species that can contribute to chimeras and create precursors to sperm and eggs in a culture dish. The findings could lead to a host of advances in basic biology, regenerative medicine, and reproductive technology.
