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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The female reproductive system includes organs that produce hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Ovaries release one mature egg each month during ovulation. Fallopian tubes transport the egg from ...

Most animals carry out sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the joining of two sex cells or gametes – the sperm (male gamete) and the egg or ovum (female gamete). The male and female ...
