Abstract

Targeting sperm ion channels and other sperm-specific proteins is an effective way to develop unisex contraceptives, as they should have decreased side effects. This Science & Society summarizes the current advances in human sperm physiology in attempts to evaluate what would be appropriate targets for unisex contraceptives.
