It was great working with @MRSBulletin. This biomaterial platform can be a great tool to expand available options for male contraceptives. Check out the other fantastic developments in this area @MaleBCNow
New from #MRSBulletin: Male contraceptives trail female methods in research, efficacy, ease-of-use, and variety. Vas-occlusion technologies have potential for high efficacy, single injection, noninvasive removal, and the avoidance of hormonal release. mvnt.us/m1339135
