| Abstract: |
In recent years, researchers have successfully generated many human and mammalian organoid models, including organoids representing the intestine, prostate, ovary, bladder, liver, and brain. Therefore, organoids have become an important research model in the fields of regenerative medicine, drug research, and gene therapy, acting as a bridge between in vivo and in vitro experiments. In addition, testicular organoids (TOs) represent the highest level of in vitro culture of spermatogenic cells in a simulated testicular environment. However, the generation of TOs is still in the early stages, and there is still much room for improvement in dealing with the many challenges and prospects to achieve the goal of TOs that simulate the testicular microenvironment in vitro or even reconstruct the process of spermatogenesis without the need to reconstruct seminiferous tubules. We review the brief history of TO generation and some major strategies for functional applications of TOs, which are the main concerns of our clinicians and laboratory researchers.
