Sperm Grown In Lab Could Allow Infertile Men To Have Children by Topman0001(m): 11:31pm On Feb 25, 2016
Sperm has been grown in the lab and used to
create offspring for the first time in major
scientific breakthrough which could signal the
end of male infertility.
Scientists in China coaxed embryonic mice stem
cells into sperm cells which were implanted into
eggs, from which healthy mouse pups were born.
It is hoped the same technology will eventually
be available for men who do not produce sperm
and British scientists said it marked a ‘significant
step’ towards reversing infertility .
“The report is a significant achievement
and major step forward.”
Dr Dusko Ilic, Reader in Stem Cell
Science, King's College London
“We think that it holds tremendous promise for
treating male infertility,” said Dr Jiahao Sha of
Nanjing Medical University.
"If proven to be safe and effective in humans,
our platform could potentially generate fully
functional sperm for artificial insemination or in
vitro fertilization techniques.
"Because currently available treatments do not
work for many couples, we hope that our
approach could substantially improve success
rates for male infertility.”
The sperm-like cells were injected into a mouse
egg and the resulting embryo implanted into a
female.
