Dr. Paul Magarelli of CIRMF presents free fertility seminar, In Search of the Stork, on Nov. 20 at Corona Regional Medical Center's Conference Center. Call 951-738-2229 for additional information.

Research at Newcastle University indicates insecticides and byproducts of the tyre industry could be having a negative effect on fertility rates.

Join Dr. Paul Magarelli, medical director of CIRMF, for an enlightening talk on the subject of acupuncture as a method of enhancing the outcome of infertility treatment.

A newly identified gene that controls embryo development in cows may someday offer clues into the cause of infertility in women.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College, London, have made a significant breakthrough in their understanding of how infection of the uterus damages fertility in cows. Their findings, which show that common uterine infections can damage the ovaries, may provide insights into how to treat infections such as Chlamydia in humans.

“AT THIS point I’ll try anything I can to have a child,” says Emma*, a 38-year-old teacher from London. Emma faces a similar problem to many women: her ovaries produce too few ripe eggs for doctors to extract and use for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).

The sexually transmitted infection Chlamydia has been shown to damage male as well as female fertility. The infection often goes undiagnosed because there are few obvious symptoms but is known to cause infertility in women if untreated.

Pills, sponges, IUDs, diaphragms-- women have many options for planning their fertility, none of them quite perfect. But what if men want to help out? They have only two options -- vasectomy, which is usually permanent, and condoms, which are crucial for dating but get old in long-term relationships.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found nearly 350 genes related to female fertility. Their research may open the door to much wider study in the poorly understood field of infertility.

The Oregon National Primate Research Center and the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine have been named to a national team of institutions hoping to preserve or restore fertility in women battling cancer.

Reproductive efficiency has suffered a dramatic decrease since the mid 1980s despite rapid worldwide progress in genetics and management of high producing dairy herds. The reasons for the decline in fertility are multifactorial and cannot be solely attributed to an increase in milk production.

Plant biologists at the Max Planck Institute of Developmental Biology and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that an autoimmune response, triggered by a small number of genes, can be a barrier to producing a viable offspring.
