why it has been so difficult to play now in a laboratory dish, an achievement that has just caught a group of Japanese scientists. Their findings were recently published in the pages of the journal 'Nature' and show not only that it is possible to obtain sperm from a testicular cell culture, but this material was perfectly capable of fertilizing an egg and lead to healthy and fertile offspring in turn.

Taking a piece of tissue from the testes of newborn mice and cultured in agarose gel for two months has been able to obtain sperm capable of fertilizing usually an egg. So far the work has been carried out in newborn mice, so it is early to think about repeating in humans, but not to imagine their potential clinical applications.
