Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have developed artificial testicles from real mice testis in a step toward treating male infertility, with hopes of eventually helping men struggling to have children. The tiny laboratory "organoids" are seen as a promising model for basic research on testicle development and function, potentially leading to therapeutic applications for disorders of sexual development and infertility. This research could aid in understanding the mechanisms involved in sex determination and treating male infertility, which affects one in 12 men worldwide.
