New research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals the presence of microplastics in human reproductive fluids, raising ...

Scientists have detected microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, the liquid that surrounds an egg in an ovarian follicle. "This is not an isolated finding –– it appears to be quite common," ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

Polluted, noisy and crowded urban environments can impair physical performance. Living in modern cities may not be good for human health, according to evolutionary scientists from Loughborough ...
