Spermatogenic failure

This Stanford study tests whether injecting a man's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into his testicles can help produce sperm. Ten men with nonobstructive azoospermia who previously failed sperm retrieval will receive the injection. Three months later, doctors will check for sperm…

This study investigates whether a specific mitochondrial DNA variant (MT-ND1 m.3700G>A) is associated with severe male infertility, specifically conditions where sperm production is absent or extremely low. Researchers analyzed existing medical records and biological samples from…

This observational study aims to understand how the CFTR gene is regulated in epididymal cells, which may help explain male infertility linked to cystic fibrosis. Researchers will collect leftover tissue samples from 20 men already scheduled for surgery. No extra procedures are n…

This study aims to find genes that may cause infertility in people with non-obstructive azoospermia (low or no sperm) or primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause). Researchers will collect saliva samples from 500 adults to look for genetic differences. No new treatments are…

This study tests a new lab technique called HyperSperm to see if it can make sperm move better and stay healthy. Researchers will collect semen samples from 300 men with different fertility issues and compare the new method to the standard one. The goal is to find a safer and mor…
