  • Introduction: : Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a type of infertility in men with limited therapies. busulfan is utilizing, For inducing animal models Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). In recent years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) especially Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have opened up new opportunities for the treatment of various disorders, including infertility. Hence this article aim is comparison Induction of spermatogenesis by Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal stem cell therapy of Non-obstructive Azoospermic Hamster, Mouse and guinea pigs
  • Methods: : PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science were searched with the keywords " Spermatogenesis ",” Infertility “and " Nonobstructive Azoospermia ". A comprehensive analysis of all levels-of-evidence was done. Twenty-three articles discussing Nonobstructive Azoospermia were selected.
  • Results: : Our results showed After treatment of busulfan group with BM-SCs, spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, spermatids and sperms were present in seminiferous tubules. spermatozoa were present in epididymis tubes too. seminiferous tubules that didn't have BM-SCs treatment, were empty.
  • Conclusion: As Transplanted BM-MSCs in seminiferous tubules induce repair of pathological changes and spermatogenesis, BM-SCs can be suggested as an effective treatment pattern in azoospermia. Further research is needed to prove the efficacy of this technique in human therapy
