In Vitro human sperm created by scientists in France
Q. Which French start up working with the government lab has discovered in-vitro human sperm claiming a breakthrough in treatment of infertility?- Published on 20 Sep 15a. Kallistem
b. Genestem
c. Spermstem
d. None of the above
ANSWER: Kallistem
French start up Kallistem has collaborated with the government to create in vitro human sperm through breakthrough in infertility treatment. The sperm has been developed from immature spermatogonial cells which are prevalent in males and develop into sperm cells with the insect of puberty. Technology has to be clinically tested and genesis of research stems from declining male fertility. The researchers developed a bioreactor using a viscous fluid made partly of substances found in the walls of mushrooms or in crustacean shells to reproduce the conditions within the body . The main issue was reproducing in the lab a complex physiological development process that usually lasts 72 days in a human, from immature cell to sperm. In all cases, the entire path taken in the testicle were also taken in the in vitro system.
