Summary:
Scientists have proved for the first time that sperm grown from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring. The discovery in mice could ultimately help couples affected by male fertility problems to conceive. The scientists say a better understanding embryo developmental processes might enable a host of other diseases to be treated using stem cells, they say. The study is published in the journal Developmental Cell.
Commentary: This finding may eventualy lead to improved treatments for infertiility and a myriad of human diseases.
