Ben-Gurion researchers create sperm from regular cells Ben-Gurion University researchers achieved a major breakthrough in male fertility by producing sperm cells from regular mouse cells, Israel National News reported. Professor Mahmoud Huleihel at the university’s Shraga Segan Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Faculty of Health Sciences conducted the study that was published in the science journal Nature. “This study may open new therapeutic strategies for infertile men who cannot generate sperm and/or prepubertal cancer patients at risk of infertility due to aggressive chemo or radiotherapy, and cannot cryosperm as in adult patients,” Huleihel said, according to a press release. Professor Eitan Lunenfeld from Soroka University Medical Center, BeerSheva and Professor Stefan Schlatt from University of Münster in Münster, Germany contributed research to the study. The German–Israel Foundation contributed funding to the project.
