Study: Testicle Stem Cells May Ward Off Disease

Source: Fox News

Summary:

Stem cells, found in male testicles, may be used to create tissue samples to help men fight off disease. Using spermatogonial progenitor stem cells (SPCs), which lie within a specific area of the testes and generate the precursors to sperm, researchers from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City were able to develop working cells and tissue types.
