In vitro spermatogenesis: A century‐long research journey, still half way around [PDF]
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2018 Background Spermatogenesis is one of the most complicated cellular differentiation processes in a body. Researchers struggled to find and develop a micro‐environmental condition that can support the process in vitro.

In vitro spermatogenesis: In search of fully defined conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 A complete reconstruction of spermatogenesis in vitro under fully defined conditions still has not been achieved. However, many techniques have been proposed to get closer to that aim. Here we review the current progress in the field.

Spermatogonial Stem Cells for In Vitro Spermatogenesis and In Vivo Restoration of Fertility [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the only adult stem cells capable of passing genes onto the next generation. SSCs also have the potential to provide important knowledge about stem cells in general and to offer critical in vitro and in vivo ...

Generation of rat offspring using spermatids produced through in vitro spermatogenesis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 An in vitro spermatogenesis method using mouse testicular tissue to produce fertile sperm was established more than a decade ago. Although this culture method has generally not been effective in other animal species, we recently succeeded in improving ...

Achievement of complete in vitro spermatogenesis in testicular tissues from prepubertal mice exposed to mono- or polychemotherapy [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The assessment of the impact of chemotherapies on in vitro spermatogenesis in experimental models is required before considering the application of this fertility restoration strategy to prepubertal boys who received these treatments before testicular ...

A pumpless monolayer microfluidic device based on mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium promotes neonatal mouse in vitro spermatogenesis [PDF]
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2023 Background Childhood cancer treatment-induced gonadotoxicity causes permanent infertility/sub-infertility in nearly half of males. The current clinical and experimental approaches are limited to cryopreservation of prepubertal testicular strips and in ...

Recent Developments in In Vitro Spermatogenesis and Future Directions
Reproductive Medicine, 2023 Recent developments in stem cell technologies have made significant advancements in the field of in vitro gametogenesis. In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) is a promising technology where functional gametes (sperm or egg cells) can be generated from stem cells.
