Ehehe.. Men would not love this
news..Human sperm cells have been created in a lad for the first time, French researchers say.
The break-through could however offer a solution to infertile
men.
Isabelle Cuoc, CEO of
Kallistem, said: ‘Our team is the first in the world to have developed the
technology required to obtain fully formed spermatozoa in vitro with sufficient
yield for IVF.
Science has always struggled to
find a way to turn male fertility cells, known as spermatogonia, into mature
sperm. The process normally takes around 70 days in the body.
During this time, the bodies of
some men will not be able to turn the sperm fertile.
But this new research, which
has not been officially verified, suggests the spermatogonia of infertile men
could be matured in a lab environment.
However, Professor Allan Pacey,
a male fertility expert from the University of Sheffield, warns that such
claims do not translate into readily available procedures
