TEL AVIV – Researchers at an Israeli university have grown artificial testicles, in a development they say could help treat infertility in men, according to various international reports.
In a world first, Israel scientists grow testicles in lab

The organoids were produced from cells extracted from mouse testes, The Straits Times said, citing a report from the New York Post.

“Organoids are three-dimensional miniature versions of immature organs. Biologists have already created versions that resemble the brain, kidneys and intestines from stem cells,” according to the reports.

The articial testicles cannot produce sperm yet, the Daily Mail reported.

But the scientists, led by Dr. Nitzan Gonen from Israel's Bar-Ilan University, say they share many of the structural and genetic characteristics as the natural ones.
