A Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researcher has achieved a significant breakthrough in male fertility, producing normal sperm from mouse cells.
“This study may open new therapeutic strategies for infertile men who cannot generate sperm and/or pre-pubertal cancer patients at risk of infertility due to aggressive chemo- or radiotherapy and cannot cryopreserve sperm as in adult patients,” explains Prof. Mahmoud Huleihel, of BGU’s Shraga Segal Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Faculty of Health Sciences.
The article was just published online in Nature’s Asian Journal of Andrology, and according to the authors is “the first original report revealing the generation of morphologically normal spermatozoa from mouse testicular germ cells.” It outlines the generation of spermatozoa from mouse testicular germ cells under in vitro culture.
