Growing tissue from cells in a petri dish is hard enough, but growing multiple types of tissue, connecting them, and keeping them alive for weeks is even more daunting. A team led by Teresa K.

Female mice destined to develop Alzheimer's-like pathology and related cognitive impairments display a unique pattern of fluctuation in sex hormones during the ovarian cycle, finds new research ...

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 ...

It’s ovulation in the lab. A simulated female reproductive system behaves almost like the real thing over 28 days. “Menstruation in a dish is one of my goals,” says Julie Kim of Northwestern ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio (May 28, 2025)—The menopause transition can take a physical as well as a mental and emotional toll on many women. A new study suggests that emotions such as anger, irritability, 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 ...

Male and female reproductive systems allow human reproduction. Fertilisation occurs when a sperm and egg join to form an embryo. An embryo develops into an unborn baby in the uterus during pregnancy.
