In a new paper, scientists report that they successfully removed a mouse’s ovary and replaced it with a 3D-printed one made from its own ovarian follicles.
Infertile mice have given birth to healthy pups after having their fertility restored with ovary implants made with a 3D printer.
The brave new world of 3-D printed organs now includes implanted ovary structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to new study.
A mouse with 3D-printed ovaries has successfully given birth to healthy pups, according to a new study.
Infertile mice with 3-D printed ovaries were able to give birth to healthy pups, according to a new study from Northwestern University.
A 3-D printed ovary allowed an infertile mouse to naturally mate and go on to give birth to two pups of their own.
Mice with artificial, 3-D printed ovaries have successfully given birth to healthy offspring.
Prosthetic ovaries made of gelatin have allowed mice to conceive and give birth to healthy offspring.
According to a team of Northwestern University researchers, the future of treating certain fertility issues may descend from a tiny, 3D-printed prosthetic ovary.
Bioprosthetic ovaries produced mouse pups in otherwise infertile mice
Emerging additive manufacturing techniques enable investigation of the effects of pore geometry on cell behavior and function.
For years, physicians have referred to women's healthcare as "bikini medicine" and assumed they can diagnose and treat both genders the same way. But it's costing women their lives.
There is a new way to test drugs for a specific person without ever trying them on that person. It’s high tech science creating mini reproductive systems for men and women in a lab. Organs that communicate with each other can also tell doctors how to better treat their patients.
Researchers in the United States have created a model of the female reproductive system that is so close to the real thing that it can simulate a menstrual cycle and pregnancy hormones. How could it be applied to target women health issues. The lead researcher at Northwestern University, Teresa Woodruff, tells the BBC's Nomia Iqbal how…
Researchers in the United States have created a model of a female reproductive system that is so close to the real thing it even simulates a menstrual cycle and pregnancy hormones.
Imagine (if you’re a female) holding your entire reproductive system in your hand to figure out how it works and how to improve it.
Although half of the population has female reproductive organs, there are still so many woman-specific health issues that the medical community doesn’t know much about — from endometriosis to infertility, miscarriages, and gynecological cancers. But now, scientists have developed a new miniature device that replicates a woman’s reproductive system, and will hopefully allow researchers to better…
A microfluidic system supports murine ovarian follicles to produce the human 28-day menstrual cycle hormone profile, which controls human female reproductive tract and peripheral tissue dynamics in single, dual and multiple unit microfluidic platforms (Solo-MFP, Duet-MFP and Quintet-MPF, respectively).
It’s ovulation in the lab. A simulated female reproductive system behaves almost like the real thing over 28 days.
The EVATAR system. Each cube represents a different organ, and the blue fluid stands in for blood. (Credit: Northwestern University) A collection of human cell-lined boxes successfully reproduced the female menstrual cycle, marking another step forward for so-called "organs-on-a-chip."
After decades of drug testing on mostly men, a new device may help taylor treatment for different genders.
These days, scientists are all about building miniature versions of human organs. They’ve built tiny beating hearts on spinach leaves and put livers on computer chips, and now, a team from Northwestern University report they’ve built a vagina in a palm-sized tablet.
