Early Success for Endometrial mRNA Therapy: Johns Hopkins Researchers Treat Infertility
Groundbreaking Approach: Endometrial mRNA Therapy for Infertility In a landmark development at Johns Hopkins Medicine, researchers have reported early positive results using endometrial mRNA therapy to address infertility. This innovative approach focuses on reprogramming the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to create a receptive environment for embryo implantation. By deploying messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies…

Ghana Makes History: First Traditional Surrogacy Quadruplets
Ghana’s Groundbreaking Birth Sparks Global Attention In a landmark medical achievement, Ghana has reportedly delivered the world’s first set of quadruplets conceived through traditional surrogacy. The births took place on January 13 at the Walking Egg Medical Infertility Centre, a facility known for its focus on assisted reproductive technologies and fertility care. The quadruplets, consisting…

Melatonin and ART Outcomes: Systematic Review
Introduction Melatonin (MT) is recognized for its role in regulating circadian rhythms and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Growing evidence suggests that MT may influence reproductive biology by improving oocyte quality, reducing oxidative damage, and potentially enhancing endometrial receptivity. This has spurred a wave of randomized and non-randomized studies examining MT as an adjunct to…

A New mRNA Therapy for Male Infertility: Promising Results in Mice
Introduction: A potential breakthrough in male infertility Researchers from The University of Osaka and Baylor College of Medicine have reported a novel mRNA-based approach to treating male infertility caused by genetic defects. By delivering synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) directly into the testes, the team achieved restoration of spermatogenesis and produced viable…

mRNA Therapy for Male Infertility: Breakthrough in Mouse Study
New mRNA Approach Targets Genetic Causes of Male Infertility Researchers from The University of Osaka and Baylor College of Medicine have unveiled a novel approach to treating male infertility caused by genetic defects. By delivering synthetic mRNA via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) directly to the testes, scientists were able to restart sperm production in a mouse…

New mRNA Therapy Could Inform Future Male Infertility Treatments
Overview: A potential breakthrough in male infertility In a collaboration between The University of Osaka and Baylor College of Medicine, researchers have demonstrated a novel mRNA-based therapy that restored sperm production in a mouse model of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver targeted mRNA directly to the testes, the study showed that…

Mitomeiosis: Creating human eggs from skin cells—a breakthrough in infertility
Breakthrough: mitomeiosis creates eggs from skin cells A US team has published a pioneering study describing a proof‑of‑concept approach that could one day allow infertile people to have biological children. Using a technique dubbed mitomeiosis, researchers turned DNA taken from a skin cell into a functional human egg, which was subsequently fertilised with sperm in…
