👉 Sperm engineering is an advanced field of biotechnology that involves the manipulation and modification of sperm cells to enhance their quality, motility, or genetic stability for various applications. This can include techniques such as gene editing (e.g., CRISPR-Cas9) to correct genetic defects, selective sperm selection based on desired traits (e.g., increased motility or fertilization ability), and the introduction of therapeutic genes to treat genetic disorders. Sperm engineering holds promise for addressing infertility issues, improving reproductive outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies, and potentially reducing the risk of genetic diseases in offspring. Researchers are also exploring ways to extend sperm viability outside the body, which could revolutionize sperm storage and transport methods.
