Highlights An innovative platform creating sperm in a laboratory through a microfluidic system using a silicon chip (PDMS) A novel testis-on-a-chip (ToC) platform or microfluidic chip has testicular cells which are enzymatically isolated from the seminiferous tubules of sexually immature mice, seeded in a methylcellulose gel. In-vitro spermatogenesis According to the research published in the journal Biofabrication, an innovative platform helps improve in-vitro spermatogenesis through a microfluidic system using a PDMS chip. A team of researchers from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in collaboration with a research group at the Israel Institute of Technology, has created a novel testis-on-a-chip (ToC) platform.
What did the study include? Researchers enzymatically isolated the testicular cells from the seminiferous tubules of sexually immature mice and seeded them in a…
