With so much discussion about stem cells and their potential benefits, it is often difficult to determine if stem cells can really help you, your friend or family member. Click here to download some useful resources to help you get more informed.

Within the mammalian testis reside stem cells that are essential for sperm production and maintaining male fertility throughout life. A team of researchers based at Monash’s Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) and the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology are seeking to better understand how the function of these stem cells is regulated and the potential for these cells to be a new form of pluripotent stem cells.

The Canadian Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine and the Stem Cells Australia consortium have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to work together to increase the translation of stem cell research in the two countries.
