However, this puzzle is already seeing the light of day: The testis tissue of the patient is taken for in vitro proliferation and differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells. After obtaining the sperm, the sperm is microinjected into the egg through ooplasmic single sperm injection technology to form an embryo, and finally transplanted into the mother for pregnancy. Until the station has achieved complete success in mice and has differentiated sperm in humans, that is to say, in the near future, the sperm cells will be implanted into the human body. It is possible that people with azoospermia will have their own children. In addition, Academician Liu Yixun also revealed a good news: "For female infertility, our researchers isolated mesenchymal stem cells from the patient's menstrual blood, after in vitro culture and expansion, back into the patient's uterus, differentiation into endometrial cells, increase the thickness of the endometrial, making it suitable for embryo transfer."
