Scientists chart a comprehensive cell atlas of the developing human reproductive system, offering new clues into congenital disorders.

Male and female reproductive systems allow human reproduction. Fertilisation occurs when a sperm and egg join to form an embryo. An embryo develops into an unborn baby in the uterus during pregnancy.

Most animals carry out sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the joining of two sex cells or gametes – the sperm (male gamete) and the egg or ovum (female gamete). The male and female ...
