Sperm Successfully Grown in Laboratory Grail

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - The team of researchers led by Professor Stefan Schlatt from the University of Munster, Germany, successfully growing rat sperm in the laboratory. Sperm were grown in the dish with the seeds of the cells in the testes of mice and after investigation no abnormality.

These results made ​​researchers increasingly optimistic that one day human beings can remain fertile tidsak have a child without the help of donor sperm. Later, the seeds of human cells in the testes to produce sperm responsibility can be taken and grown in the laboratory.

"I believe that it is possible to grow sperm using tissue chttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifontaining germ cells from testicular sperm taken to further stimulate the production of sperm in the laboratory," said Mahmoud Huleihel, Israeli researchers involved in the research.

As quoted by FoxNews, Tuesday (03/01/2012), Huleihel said, "It took several years for us to arrive at this stage, so a technique for growing human sperm will not come overnight, but we have started the research after the success of the these mice. "

The study is published in Asian Journal of Andrology. The study appeared not long after Japanese scientists managed to turn stem cells into sperm cells, which are then used for fertilization of her eggs. It seems that the future for infertile men to have children increasingly bright.
