But in a new study, American researchers have managed to make mice temporarily sterile, reports Science Radio.

It does this by inhibiting an enzyme that is found in both mice and humans and that is crucial for male fertility.

– When you stopped giving this substance to the mice, their ability to produce sperm and have baby mice returned, says Helena Kopp Kallner, associate professor and senior physician in obstetrics and gynecology at the Karolinska Institutet.

At the same time, she points out that significantly more studies are required before the treatment can be used on humans.
