Created an artificial protein for the treatment of infertility in men

Scientists have created an artificial protein for the treatment of male infertility. The male sperm contains a protein called Grimsby Ostende as. Without it is impossible to create the conditions necessary for the sperm to fertilization and subsequent embryo development. So when protein is missing in Grimsby Ostende as the sperm, the man admits barren.





The authors of the study published its findings in the latest issue of the journal FASEB. According to them, further research in this direction will allow them to use artificially created protein to solve male infertility.

It is known that infertility may have a different nature. One of the reasons is the inability of the pair to initiate the process of embryo development. Most modern methods of solving the infertility problem is reduced to the effects on the ovum of women: only 37% of the acts of artificial insemination resulted in success.

According to the authors of the study, the use of artificial protein PAWA will become a new milestone in the treatment of infertility in men, but they chose not to call the possible beginning of clinical trials of protein. Also with the help of artificial protein PAWA scientists will be able to increase the efficiency of existing techniques of artificial insemination.
