Scientists
grew sperm cells from the skin of infertile men, it has been
revealed. And the technique could bring hope to millions of men who
lack enough good quality sperm to conceive. Skin cells from three
infertile men were genetically engineered to become stem cells
capable of growing into almost any tissue. When injected into mice
testes, they transformed into early-stage sperm cells. Lead
researcher Dr Reijo Pera, of Stanford University, California, said:
“This approach has great potential. It can facilitate many couples
in need.”
