London, Jan 20 (ANI): An artificial testicle that produces human sperm could help solve the problem of male infertility, scientists have said.
A team of researchers, led by specialist Paul Turek from San Francisco, have been given the go ahead to create the device after receiving a substantial grant.
It would have to be replaced after every cycle of sperm production, which takes 70 days.
Turek is currently working on a prototype and has estimated that it would take five to seven years to perfect the method.
