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," ...

The seat of human life, a reproductive system that includes the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva, is often shrouded in mystery, subjected to regulation, or seen as an anchor for social and ...

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 ...

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 detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...

It’s time to talk about the birds, the bees and the PTFEs. They’re already in our lungs, livers, kidneys, blood and even our brains. New research out Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction reveals ...

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 ...

Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...

Microplastics are everywhere - in the air you breathe, the water you drink, food you eat. It has even entered the living tissue. Scientists have discovered microplastics in human reproductive fluids.
