The female reproductive system is one of the most vital parts of the human reproductive process. The major organs of the female reproductive system include the vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian ...

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 ...

Humans are sexual, meaning that both a male and a female are needed to reproduce. Each is equipped with specific organs capable of producing specific cells needed to procreate. In conjunction with a ...

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 ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

With the National Institutes of Health's grant, Junhyong Kim (left) and Kathleen O'Neill (right) will create a molecular model of the female reproductive system. Two Penn professors have been awarded ...

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 ...
