A New Technique To Generate Early Stage Sperm Cells
LONDON: Scientists claim to have successfully created early-stage sperms from human skin that could potentially help infertile men, including survivors of childhood cancer, fulfill their dream of fatherhood. The breakthrough, which came by unlocking the intricacies of male reproduction, could also lead to new contraceptives and a 'miracle pill' to treat infertility, they say.
For the study, the American scientists used a cocktail of chemicals to wind back the 'biological clock' in skin cells, turning them into cells with the chameleon-like powers of embryonic stem-cells, the 'Daily Mail' reported. They then used a combination of nutrients to coax them to develop into round cells which were just a few steps away from mature sperms and appeared genetically normal.
