Team leader Stefan Schlatt, a professor at the University of Muenster (Germany), affirmed that this step opened up opportunities for the last infertile men to be fathers, instead of using donated sperm as before.

Experts cultured sperm by removing germ cells into a special compound called agar , to create an environment similar to that in testicles.

Professor Mahmoud Huleihel, who has also raised sperm at Ben Gurion University (Israel), predicts that in the near future, scientists will find a way to feed human sperm from germ cell extract and stimulate them to develop. developed under the supervision of experts.

The results of this important study were published in the prestigious Nature journal, and sparked the hope that mankind would eventually find a difficult answer to male infertility.
