Method for delivering mRNA inside fat-based particles directly into live mouse testicles

Updated

Abstract

Male infertility affects 10%-20% of the population globally, with about half of the cases linked to male factors.

  • A protocol for delivering mRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticles into mouse testis is presented.
  • The method involves preparation of mRNA-LNPs, delivery to the rete testis, and evaluation of transfection success.
  • Initial findings suggest the system may be relatively safe and efficient for testis transfection.
  • This approach could offer a potential therapeutic strategy for individuals experiencing spermatogenic failure.
