With a high proportion of pregnancies either ill-timed or unwanted, high levels of unmet need for birth spacing, and a growing market of both women and men demanding high-quality reproductive health services, research is needed on potential compounds and delivery systems in order to develop new products particularly suitable for use in developing countries.
Population Council focus
The Council’s reproductive health portfolio in basic biomedical research identifies leads for eventual product development. Scientists at the Council's Center for Biomedical Research also test new scientific technologies, including concepts, new molecules, delivery systems, and methods, to accelerate progress in research.
Population Council impact
- For women, the Council is conducting research on selective hormone receptors (e.g., ulipristal) to make contraceptive delivery systems safer and more effective in the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, and to contribute to breast health by arresting the potential emergence of tumor cells.
- For men, the Council is conducting research on mechanisms of androgen action, including work on MENT® in the identification of new male contraceptives, as well as identifying and understanding germ cell development and sperm function to identify nonhormonal targets, and the effects of environmental endocrine disruptors on testicular function (e.g., on Leydig cells which are affected by one such phthalate, DBP, a disruptor commonly found in plastics).
Projects
Action of Endocrine Disrupters on Leydig Cells (more)
Diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) is a suspected endocrine-disrupting chemical that is a common constituent of flexible plastics; Council research is investigating the effect of DEHP on the function of Leydig cells, the cells responsible for making testosterone.
(4/1999 - ongoing)
United States
Development and Physiology of Leydig Cells (more)
Testosterone production by Leydig cells in the testis is the critical factor ensuring adequate sperm production and male fertility. Council researchers are identifying components that affect testosterone secretion and may offer new avenues for contraception and male hormone therapy.
(1/1998 - ongoing)
United States
Dual Health Benefits: Nestorone
Council scientists at the Center for Biomedical Research are developing safer and more effective long-acting contraceptives that have dual health benefits, using molecules with selective binding to hormone receptors, such as Nestorone®, a derivative of progesterone.
(1/2010 - ongoing)
France, United States
Dual Health Benefits: Ulipristal (more)
Council scientists at the Center for Biomedical Research are developing safer and more effective long-acting contraceptives that have dual health benefits, using molecules with selective binding to hormone receptors, such as ulipristal, a novel progesterone receptor modulator.
(1/2010 - ongoing)
United States
Germ Cell Dynamics (more)
Basic research at the Council's Center for Biomedical Research seeks to identify genetic mechanisms resulting in infertility in mice that might be used to develop new forms of male contraception.
(1/1998 - ongoing)
United States
In Search of Stem Leydig Cells: Identification, Isolation, and Development (more)
Leydig cells secrete the male hormone testosterone needed for fertility and formation of the male body plan; Council research seeks to understand the cellular controls of testostorone production in Leydig cells.
(1/1995 - ongoing)
United States
Physiology of Sertoli Cells (more)
The goal of Council research on Sertoli cells is the development of safe, reversible male contraceptives.
(1/1995 - ongoing)
United States
Sperm Maturation (more)
Council researchers are working to identify the switch that activates sperm so that it can be turned on in infertile men and turned off when contraception is desired.
(7/2002 - ongoing)
United States
Studies on the Function of the Annulus of the Sperm Tail (more)
The annulus on the sperm tail is critical for sperm function; Council research on the annulus may lead to the development of a novel, reversible male contraceptive
(1/2003 - ongoing)
United States
The Biology of Blood–Testis Barrier Dynamics (more)
Population Council researchers have been investigating innovative ways to regulate the blood–testis barrier in spermatogenesis, which will likely lead to the development of novel male contraceptives.
(2/2009 - 3/2014)
United States
Facilitating Regulatory Approval of Multipurpose Prevention Technologies for Reproductive Health (more)
The Population Council is playing a central role in the US Agency for International Development’s effort to clarify and inform regulatory pathways for multipurpose prevention technologies.
(10/2010 - 9/2013)
United States
Dual-protection Contraceptive Ring (more)
Council researchers are collaborating to develop a dual-protection contraceptive ring that protects against both pregnancy and HIV.
