Researchers at the University of Ottawa and the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a new role for reproductive hormone secretoneurin (SN) and, for the first ...

A recent advance has led to the development of microfluidically linked microphysiological culture systems that mimic the complex dynamics and interdependent physiology of the various organs that ...

The female reproductive tract is required for the production of ova, secretion of sex hormones and the maintenance of pregnancy throughout the gestation of healthy offspring. Entry and advancement ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Most human pregnancies result in one baby because hormone feedback quickly limits egg selection, a new study explains.
