Scientists On The Path To Replicating Human Sperm
Scientists have taken an important step towards creating artificial sperm and eggs for infertility treatment by recreating the way the human body produces sperm.
The team of researchers, from Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, are considered to be the first team to have attained what is referred to as the “halfway point” which a significant landmark on the path between stem cells and immature sperm.
This pathway, which the team are making effort to track and understand involves embryonic cells turning into immature sperm via a series of complex steps known as meiosis.
