The ovary substitutes may one day help treat infertility in humans
A team of researchers has taken the next step in regenerative medicine, creating the first 3D-printed ovaries, using gelatin as the printer’s “ink.”
Scientists announced they had 3D-printed prosthetic ovaries that enabled mice — whose natural ovaries had been surgically removed — to ovulate, give birth and nurse.
Scientists created 3D printed gelatin scaffolds and implanted them with eggs
A fascinating experiment that combines 3D printing and mice could have implications for women who survived cancer and are dealing with infertility.
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…
