The purpose of WP5 is to optimise protocols to induce spermatogenesis and obtain a stable production of high quality sperm, validate sperm quality criteria and establish protocols for fertilisation to standardise the sperm concentration in fertilisation experiments.
New knowledge about the mechanisms controlling the testis development and factors determining spermatogenesis and production of high quality sperm will be obtained, and sperm fertilisation capacity methods will be evaluated for enhanced application in controlled experiments.
WP5 is lead by Prof. Juan Asturiano, ICTA-UPV.
