The testis is responsible for sperm production and testosterone synthesis. Abnormalities in testis development and function lead to disorders of sex development (DSD) and male infertility. Currently, ...

The first-ever 3D model of testicles, made using mouse cells, could improve our understanding of sex development disorders and male infertility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A pair of tiny artificial testicles have been created in a lab, which scientists hope will provide solutions to male infertility and improve our understanding of testicular development and function.

Deletion of hsf5 in mice results in the impaired development of testis (left), and the absence of spermatids and spermatozoa (right), which leads to the failure of sperm formation. Kumamoto University ...
