Abstract:
:Spermatogonial stem cells open novel strategies for preservation of testicular tissue and fertility preservation in boys and men exposed to gonadotoxic therapies. This review provides an update on the physiology of spermatogonial stem cells in rodent and primate testes. Species-specific differences must be considered when new technologies on testicular stem cells are considered. Germ cell transplantation is presented as one novel and promising strategy. Whereas this technique has become an important research tool in rodents, a clinical application must still be regarded as experimental and many aspects of the procedure need to be optimized prior to a safe and efficient clinical application in men. Testicular grafting opens another exciting strategy for fertility preservation. Autologous and xenologous transfer of immature tissue revealed a high regenerative potential of immature testicular tissue. Grafting was applied in rodents and primates and resulted in the generation of sperm. Further research is needed before an application in humans can be considered safe and efficient. Despite the current limitations in regard to the generation of sperm from cryopreserved male germline cells and tissues, protocols for cryopreservation of testicular tissue are available and reveal a promising outcome. Since future improvements of germ cell transplantation and grafting approaches can be assumed, bioptic retrieval and cryopreservation of testicular tissue fragments should be performed in oncological patients at high risk of fertility loss since this is their only option to maintain their fertility potential.
