Discovery of new protein has potential to improve fertility

For the first time, a new protein has been discovered by scientists, who claim it has potential to improve fertility.

The new protein plays a critical role during sperm-egg adhesion and fusion that could help in the  diagnosis and treatment of infertility.

This discovery could also pave the way for the development of better contraceptives.

The protein has been named Maia, the Greek goddess of motherhood.

It also highlights the development of cell cultures for the “production” of human oocyte proteins, according to the research findings.
