Leydig cells are responsible for producing the male hormone (testosterone), and it is hoped that Leydig cell transplants could serve as a treatment for late-onset hypogonadism in the future.

Leydig cells are responsible for producing the male hormone (testosterone), and it is hoped that Leydig cell transplants could serve as a treatment for late-onset hypogonadism in the future.

To try to generate Leydig cells in vitro, Takaki Ishida, MD, from Kobe University, Japan, and colleagues used a two-step protocol employing clones of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

The risk of Leydig cell dysfunction after radiotherapy is inversely related to age and directly correlated with the radiation dose to the testes: patients receiving doses of <12 Gy will usually ...
