The discovery of a gene in several types of mammals, including humans, could lead to a a highly effective, reversible male contraceptive.
Scientists at Washington State University have discovered a gene that could lead to a reversible, non-hormonal male contraceptive.
Discovery of a gene in multiple mammalian species could pave the way for a highly effective, reversible and non-hormonal male contraceptive for humans and animals.
Discovery of a gene in multiple mammalian species could pave the way for a highly effective, reversible and non-hormonal male contraceptive for humans and animals. Researchers identified expression of the gene, Arrdc5, in the testicular tissue of mice, pigs, cattle and humans. When they knocked out the gene in mice, it created infertility only in the males, impacting their sperm count, movement and shape.
