First live birth after autologous testicular tissue grafting in rhesus macaques

2022-02-212019-05-08 by Alberto de la Iglesia

Fertility preservation in young people before gonadotoxic therapies (for cancer or other diseases) is nowadays one of the most challenging issues in reproductive biology. However, interesting breakthroughs are bringing it closer to reality. As we commented in our last post, Dr. Goossens’ group achieved complete spermatogenesis in intratesticular testis tissue xenotransplants from immature non-human primates. …

Complete spermatogenesis in intratesticular testis tissue xenotransplants from immature non-human primate

2021-09-082019-03-27 by borgmanj

Boys receiving gonadotoxic treatment (e.g. chemo- or radiotherapy) before puberty face the possibility of being infertile when they reach adulthood due to the loss of germ cells. As mature spermatozoa are not present, the only fertility preservation strategy currently offered involves the cryopreservation of immature testis tissue (ITT) containing spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Auto-transplantation of …

A novel atypical sperm centriole is functional during human fertilization

2021-09-082019-01-07 by Dorte

The centriole is a microtubule-based organelle and typically consists of nine sets of short microtubule triplets arranged in a cylindrical structure. The centriole is surrounded by a special matrix, the pericentriolar matrix (PCM).

Accuracy of human sperm DNA oxidation quantification and threshold determination using an 8-OHdG immuno-detection assay Vorilhon S et al. – Hum Reprod. 2018 Apr 1;33(4):553-562. doi: 10.1093/humrep/dey038 Of factors contributing to sperm DNA damage, oxidative stress is recognized as one of the major contributing causes to sperm cell dysfunction. Caused by elevated levels of intracellular …

First time in vitro maturation of oocytes from human primordial follicles

2021-09-082018-05-16 by tdarde

Currently, couples going through In vitro fertilisation (IVF) require the treatment of women with hormones for ovarian stimulation in order to stimulate simultaneously growth of several follicles and to maximize a large number of oocytes available IVF. However, this treatment can have several side-effects and it is not suitable for every woman. This is especially …
