Israeli researchers find breakthrough in lab-made sperm for infertile couples

In an exciting medical breakthrough, a team of researchers at Bar-Ilan University has developed organoids of male testicles that can synthesize testosterone and regulate reproductive functions

Testicular organoids generated from mice pups and incubated in a dish for 21 days. Sertoli cells, which are the cells responsible for the formation of the tubules in the testicle, appear in red and germ cells, which will produce the sperm cells, appear in green. Germ cells always stay close proximi
