Infertility Cure? Scientists Create Sperm from Mice Stem Cells - International Business Times
Wow! They have a long way to go, but this is wonderful news.
The experiment was conducted by researchers at Kyoto University by inducing the mice stem cells to create sperm precursors, which were then transplanted into infertile male mice that successfully produced sperm.
The sperm was used to fertilize eggs in vitro, and eventually produced healthy and fertile offspring.
Research team leader Mitinori Saitou told AP "We have high hopes" when it comes to treating infertility in humans, "but it's not that easy" as there are "many difficult issues ahead in applying this to humans. But it is a first step."
