Spermosens AB (publ) ("Spermosens" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a peer-reviewed article, "JUNO-Checked – A Live Cell Electrochemical Biosensor for Sperm Function Diagnostics," has been published in the prestigious journal Sensors & Diagnostics by the Royal Society of Chemistry. This gold open-access journal is renowned for showcasing cutting-edge research on sensing technologies and diagnostic systems, with a particular focus on novel materials, innovative detection methods and advancements that enable in situ or real-world testing.
The article details the groundbreaking capabilities of the JUNO-Checked biosensor, which quantifies sperm binding to a JUNO-functionalized surface by generating a metric, the JUNOScore. Since the ability of a sperm cell to bind to the egg’s JUNO protein is a crucial factor for fertilization, this innovative technology provides critical insights into sperm function, insights that traditional microscopic semen analysis cannot attain. By directly assessing this fundamental biological interaction, the research highlights the significant potential of the JUNO-Checked technology to enhance clinical diagnostics and optimize personalized assisted reproductive treatments, positioning it as a transformative tool in reproductive health.
The publication is the result of a productive collaboration with Reproductive Medicines Center (RMC) in Malmö and FlexMedical Solutions in the UK, which has been instrumental in developing the technology.
Spermosens is currently conducting a clinical study with the Reproductive Medicine Center (RMC) in Malmö to validate the JUNO-Checked biosensor’s potential in fertility diagnostics. Additionally, the company recently secured a strategic investment, strengthening its financial position to accelerate technical and clinical development, paving the way for partnerships and license agreements.
Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, comments: "I am very pleased with the publication of our scientific results, which highlights the diagnostic relevance and clinical potential of our JUNO-Checked technology. This peer-reviewed study validates the quality of our research and its contribution to reproductive medicine, strengthening our commitment to advancing fertility diagnostics and enabling personalized treatment strategies."
