In the quest to study human reproduction, scientists have built a rudimentary model of the female system in the lab. Every 28 days, the 'ovary', cultured on a small plastic chip, releases an egg and ...

Scientists have assembled a lab system from living tissue that can replicate a woman's 28-day hormonal cycle. The goal is to use the system to... Device Mimicking Female Reproductive Cycle Could Aid ...

The exquisite hormonal signaling that drives the female reproductive system cannot be modeled in a flat petri dish. Scrambling to address history's long dearth of research in women's health and ...

The feminine mystique is not just figurative—it also extends to women’s reproductive anatomy. For decades women were excluded from research studies, leading to a dearth of information about female ...

Scientists say they've made a device in the lab that can mimic the human female reproductive cycle. The researchers hope the device, assembled from living tissue, will lead to new treatments for many ...

The seat of human life, a reproductive system that includes the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva, is often shrouded in mystery, subjected to regulation, or seen as an anchor for social and ...

BOSTON — So-called “organs on a chip” — small blobs of tissue growing in lab dishes that mimic the function of their human counterparts — have promise for basic science and drug development. And those ...

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

releasing eggs, which can potentially be fertilized by sperm producing female sex hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen providing an environment for a fertilized egg to develop during pregnancy ...
