Spermatogenesis refers to the process by which the production and development of the spermatozoa (the mature male gamete of most sexually reproducing species) occurs. It is a complex, stepwise process of sperm development, taking more than a month depending upon the species involving three specific functional phases: spermatogonial proliferation, meiosis and metamorphosis. 1 Investigators have been successful in recreating this process in some species of fish; however, this whole process has never been reproduced in vitro in mammals. 2, 3 In a recent issue of Nature, Sato and colleagues4 attempted to produce functional sperm in vitro with cultured neonatal mouse tissue. Using two different transgenic mouse lines that incorporated a green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker, the researchers could follow the relative expression of GFP to define the presence of meiosis and haploid cells. Organ culture methods made spectacular progress in the 1960s, particularly in testicular culture; however, it was not possible to promote spermatogenesis beyond the pachytene stage. 5 Over the next few decades, researchers then focused on cell culture methods to achieve spermatogenesis in vitro. Despite such endeavors, progress was limited and Sato and colleagues re-evaluated the feasibility of organ culture methods to produce mature sperm in vitro.
