‘Lab-made sperm’ fertility hope

- Professor Nayernia, Newcastle University
UK - Scientists have proved for the first time that sperm grown from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring.

And by understanding embryo developmental processes better, a host of other diseases might be treated using stem cells, they say.
