Male contraceptive and male fertility problems solved on gene level

By Yulia Monakhova , Maria Dunayeva, A gene vital for a final stage of sperm genesis has been recently discovered by the researchers at the Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh. This discovery might lead to development of a male contraceptive, thus excluding women from the privilege of female birth control pills. This discovery, which might change our perspective on contraceptives, was actually made accidently. The scientists were researching possible causes of male infertility in mice. They altered the genetic code of the animal to see which one affected their reproduction system. They discovered that those who had a dysfunctional gene Katnal1 could not reproduce. Results were published in May issue of PLoS Genetics scientific magazine. Tags: World, medicine, Commentary, Sci-Tech, scientific researches, ?????? ?????, Source: Voice of Russia.?
