Altering how sperm develop could lead to a reversible male birth control Blocking a certain protein in male mice prevented the rodents from impregnating any females By Loren Grush on October 4, 2015 02:47 pm theverge.com It may be possible to create male birth control by altering how sperm develop, according to new research published this week in Science. Researchers blocked a protein that plays a role in sperm production — and that was enough to render male mice temporarily infertile. Since drugs that alter this protein are already on the market, development of male birth control could happen swiftly if the method works in people too. In the study, scientists genetically altered mice so the rodents’ reproductive cells didn’t express certain genes. This caused the male mice’s sperm to develop abnormally, preventing the sperm from fertilizing any eggs. Here’s the important part: the effect could be recreated using certain drugs.....
