Artificial Sperm Made Easy

News Health Articles - Artificial Sperm Made Easy. The man who is hard to have offspring can expect on the technology of artificial sperm. Numerous experiments have shown positive results and now the raw materials and method of making artificial sperm getting easier as more and more choices.

Recent experiments on artificial sperm made ​​recently by Prof. Mahmoud Huleihel of Gurion University. With the use of testicular or scrotal tissue taken from male rats, Prof. Huleihel successfully created artificial sperm with sperm quality equivalent to the original.



Somewhat similar to the technology of stem cell or stem cells, the technology developed Prof. Huleihel also use any cell to other cells which developed into sperm cells. To distinguish it from normal stem cells, Prof. Huleihel named germ cell or germ cell.

Artificial sperm created in the laboratory of Prof. Huleihel have not tested to inseminate female mice. But in theory, Prof. Hulaihel artificial sperm could ensure reliable and even technology can be applied to humans.

"I believe this technology is probably developed in humans. The principle is the same, which takes cells from the testes and then develop it in the lab," says Prof. Huleihel in its publication in the journal Nature as quoted from Dailymail, Tuesday (03/01/2012).

Not just this time the researchers developed an artificial sperm. Dr. Mitinori Saitou from Kyoto University in Japan for example, even a successful mating female mice with the egg and sperm produce 16 artificial rat pups are very healthy condition until adulthood.

In another study, Prof. Karim Nayernia of Newcastle University to create artificial sperm from the egg cells of female mice. The experiment is somewhat controversial, because if applied to humans it will be considered 'natural' because of sex becomes no meaning anymore.
