Der richtige Riecher führt zum Ziel
Auf dem Weg zur weiblichen Eizelle scheinen sich Spermien auf eine ganz besondere Fähigkeit zu verlassen: ihren Geruchssinn. Die neue Entdeckung könnte Verhütungsmethoden erheblich verbessern. Die Strecke ist nicht lang, und dennoch wird sie meist vergeblich zurückgelegt: Von den Millionen Spermazellen, die sich durch den Eileiter in Richtung Eizelle quälen, kann letztlich nur eine das Ziel erreichen - die menschliche Befruchtung. Für Wissenschaftler ist sie noch immer ein Mysterium: Was führt das männliche Sperma ans Ziel? Und wie wird die siegreiche Samenzelle letztlich ausgewählt?

Luckiest man in Iraq
THIS is the luckiest man in Iraq - a Royal Marine who cheated death despite being shot four times in the head during a raging battle.
