Scientists at Bar-Ilan University in Israel have created tiny, lab-grown testicles called organoids.
These organoids mimic the structure of natural testicles and could help researchers understand male infertility, a condition affecting many men in the United States.
The researchers successfully grew immature testicle cells from mice, and these cells formed structures similar to those involved in sperm production.
Although the artificial testicles don't produce sperm yet, this research presents a unique way to study how testicles develop and function.
Scientists hope to eventually create similar organoids from human cells, which could potentially help restore fertility in young cancer survivors who experienced infertility due to their treatment.
This study was published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences.
