Infertility is one of the most common problems in the world that has negative effects on society and infertile people. Among the various causes of infertility, male infertility accounts for almost half of all infertility cases. Despite advances in medicine, current male infertility treatments such as assisted reproductive technology (ART) have not been successful in treating all types of male infertility. Recently, stem cells have been considered as therapeutic targets for many diseases, including infertility, due to their self-renewing and high differentiation. The purpose of this review is to discuss different types of male infertility and the effect of various stem cells against the treatment of male infertility.
不育症是世界上最常见的问题之一,对社会和不育症患者都有负面影响。在不育症的各种原因中,男性不育症几乎占所有不育症病例的一半。尽管医学取得了进步,但目前的男性不育症治疗方法,如辅助生殖技术(ART),并没有成功治疗所有类型的男性不育症。最近,由于干细胞具有自我更新和高分化的特性,它们被认为是许多疾病(包括不育症)的治疗靶点。本综述的目的是讨论不同类型的男性不育症以及各种干细胞对男性不育症治疗的影响。
