New study from Mayo Clinic provides insight into male infertility

"By understanding how healthy cells should function, we will eventually understand and identify defective cells," says Dr. van Deursen. "This is a first step in understanding male infertility."

About one in 12 couples in the United States is affected by infertility which is defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of trying. Ten to 15 percent of couples are infertile. Of these couples, a problem occurs in the male reproductive system in about 30 percent of cases and contributes to the infertility problem in an additional 20 percent of cases.
