“…A basis for this justification comes from work in common, mostly domesticated species where testicular tissue is recovered within 24 h of death and the testicular parenchyma dissected into 1 to 2 mm 3 pieces that are placed immediately (or after cryopreservation/thawing) under the skin of special, immune-suppressed mice to initiate spermatogenesis in vivo [ 9 – 10 ]. Round spermatids, elongating spermatids or spermatozoa have been isolated from these xenografts and used with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to produce embryos or live offspring [ 9 – 11 ]. With fresh testicular tissue, this approach has been used to achieve complete or advanced stages of spermatogenesis in the domesticated goat [ 12 ], pig [ 12 ], rabbit [ 13 ], bull [ 14 , 15 ], cat [ 16 , 17 ], horse [ 18 ], sheep [ 19 , 20 ], dog [ 21 ], hamster [ 22 ], ferret, Mustela putorius [ 23 ] and the non-domesticated bison ( Bison bison bison [ 24 ], rhesus monkey [ 25 ], Javan banteng ( Bos javanicus javanicus [ 26 ], white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus [ 27 ]), Mohor gazelle ( Gazella dama mohor [ 28 ]) and collared peccary ( Tayassu tajacu [ 11 ]) as well as the human [ 29 ].…”
