Two drugs targeting a protein in sperm cause reversible infertility in male mice, providing new hope for a male contraceptive.

In a proof-of-principle study, genetic deletion of two genes renders male mice infertile by preventing sperm transport through the vas deferens.

A small molecule that inhibits a protein important for chromatin organization can cause reversible sterility in male mice.

New research suggests that controlling cytoskeletal dynamics in sperm accessory cells may help regulate male fertility.
