Scientists create testicles in a lab with new hope for male infertility

Scientists in Israel have succeeded in creating artificial testicles in what could be an important step in helping men with fertility problems.
The testicles are responsible for sperm production and androgen synthesis, which play a role in male sexual development. Infertility affects up to 7 percent of men.
"Artificial testes are a promising model for basic research on testicular development and function, which can be translated into therapies for disorders of sexual development and infertility," Dr Nitzan Gonen, who specializes in the sex determination process, said in a statement. the fetus.
The team led by Gonen at Bar Ilhan University published their results in the International Journal of Biological Sciences.
Engineered artificial testes are synthetic organs created using rat testicular tissue.
