While birth control pills have been around for more than six decades for women, male contraception options have been pretty much limited to condoms and vasectomies.Washington State University researchers say they have discovered a gene in the testes that could solve this glaring disparity. Disabling the gene in mice changed sperm shape and movement, causing infertility in male mice, the study found.The results could lead to the development of a male contraceptive pill that would be effective during use and allow sperm to…

There is a lovely natural, unforced quality to this sensitive British cancer drama directed by 29-year-old Connor O’Hara. It’s a gentle, melancholy film about a man in his early 20s who has watched his best mates go off to uni while he’s stuck at home getting treatment for incurable testicular cancer. It’s based in part on O’Hara’s own experience of losing a friend young, which might explain his film’s low-key, unassuming style, and how few cancer movie cliches it regurgitates (for the most part).Sex Education’s George…

Researchers at Washington State University have discovered a gene called Arrdc5, expressed in the testicular tissue of mice, pigs, cattle, and humans, which could lead to the development of a highly effective, reversible, and non-hormonal male contraceptive for both humans and animals. The study found that when the gene was knocked out in mice, it caused infertility only in males by affecting sperm count, movement, and shape. The protein encoded by this gene is essential for normal sperm production, and the team is now…

A man?Well, maybe – especially if that man is Elton John: notorious tantrummer, expert celebrity feuder and wearer of fabulously ludicrous costumes, one of which – an enormous, luxuriously befeathered Louis XIV-inspired look designed for his 50th birthday party – is among the centrepieces of the V&A’s upcoming exhibition, Diva. Celebrating “the power and creativity of iconic performers”, it…
