A milestone in medical progress has been achieved as a man in his early 20s became the first recipient of a sperm-making stem cell transplant, providing a promising avenue for infertility treatment. Diagnosed with azoospermia following childhood chemotherapy for bone cancer, the patient underwent a revolutionary procedure involving the introduction of his own pre-chemotherapy stem cells to his reproductive system. This cutting-edge technique, previously successful in animal testing, seeks to rejuvenate sperm production by tapping into stem cells naturally present in the testicles since birth. Although no sperm cells have been observed in the patient’s semen to date, his hormone levels remain stable, and his testicular tissue has sustained no damage. (Daily Mail)
