Researchers at the Northeast England Stem Cell Institute have come up with a way to create human sperm from embryonic stem cells. The journal Stem Cells and Development last week published research led by Karim Nayernia, of Newcastle University.
The research isn’t intended to make men obsolete. On the contrary, the science behind it could someday give couples struggling with fertility hope for starting a family.
What Nayernia and his team of scientists did was come up with a way to turn embryonic stem cells with male chromosomes into reproductive cells.
They then divided the cells, which in turn produced sperm.
