The ability of sperm to properly swim through the female reproductive tract to reach and fertilize an egg is called motility.

A new way to measure male fertility has been discovered by researchers at the University of Waterloo, opening the door to the ...

Gut transit time varies from one person to the next. Recent estimates suggest it can take somewhere between 12 and 73 hours for food to pass through the body – with the average being around 23-24 ...

Mycoplasmas, including bacteria that cause pneumonia in humans, are generally nonmotile, but Mycoplasma mobile, as the ...

A massive study tracking nearly 80,000 men over five decades has revealed a striking connection between semen quality and ...

Researchers tracked more than 78,000 men over 50 years and found that those with higher sperm motility -- the ability of ...

Men with a higher number of strong swimmers tend to live almost three years longer than those with lower numbers, researchers find. Meanwhile, when it comes to menopause, female patients reportedly ...

The results of motility agar are often difficult to interpret. Generally, if the entire tube is turbid, this indicates that the bacteria have moved away from the stab mark (are motile). The organisms ...

For the first time in the world, the molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of ...

There is no reliable treatment for ineffective esophageal motility (IEM), a disorder caused by failed smooth-muscle contraction that is common in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

The OMU-led research team has been working since 1997 to clarify M. mobile's motility mechanisms. This time, with the help of Osaka University's cryo-electron microscopy equipment, the scientists ...
