Cells That Make Sperm Make Stem Cells
Stem cells that normally make sperm can be taught to make other tissues as well, perhaps offering men a medical repair kit, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
They found a way to easily pick the cells out from other tissue in the testicles and to grow them into batches big enough to use medically.
This provides a new source of stem cells, the body’s master cells, which experts hope can be used to treat injuries, replace diseased tissue and perhaps even regenerate organs.
Dr. Shahin Rafii of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute worked with mice, and is starting work now to find the same cells in humans.
