The most common cause of female infertility – polycystic ovary syndrome – may be caused by a hormonal imbalance before birth. The finding has led to a cure in mice, and a drug trial is set to begin in women later this year.
Polycystic ovary syndrome affects up to one in five women worldwide, three-quarters of whom struggle to fall pregnant. The condition is typically characterised by high levels of testosterone, ovarian cysts, irregular menstrual cycles, and problems regulating sugar, but the causes have long been a mystery. “It’s by far the most common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age but it hasn’t received a lot of attention,” says Robert Norman at the University of Adelaide in Australia.
After I was diagnosed, my mom looked at all the symptoms, and realized she probably had PCOS too, although at her age, she never saw a doctor to determine if her theory was valid. The fact it’s passed on is really interesting to me.

There’s a lot of love for the newest Marvel superhero, and Chris Evans is here for it!
ET talked to Captain America himself on Friday at a press day for his Broadway play, Lobby Hero, and he offered some high praise for the Black Panther film and its star, Chadwick Boseman.
“Chadwick’s a good buddy, he’s so fantastic and from what I’ve heard, if you’ve seen the film, he really knocks it out of the park,” the 36-year-old actor shared. “I was just watching some stuff last night about it. It is a WAVE, it is powerful!”
Wave is right, as tickets for the new Marvel movie, which opened today, have been hard to come by for many!
Meanwhile, Evans also opened up about preparing for his Broadway turn – which also stars Atlanta’s Bryan Tyree Henry and Michael Cera – as a New York City police officer.
“I spent some time with some cops and we have a dialect coach, and we have to do a New York accent,” he explained. “So I listened to a lot of their speech patterns, and we’ve had some cops come into our rehearsal space and ask some questions, and yeah, you know – just trying to get my best stance.”
Ohhhh, fuuuu… Not gonna lie. Watched this like 3 times in a row, as story ‘research.’ It’s the hands… I swear to god, the way he places his hands on a woman’s face is the sexiest damn thing ever. I need a damn cold shower now…
