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 efforts ...

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.

Led by reproductive scientist Teresa Woodruff, a team of researchers at Illinois' Northwestern University has developed what's been described as "the female menstrual cycle in a dish." Known as Evatar ...

Scientists have created a tiny female reproductive system complete with five organs made from human tissue cells. The goal is to move away from medical tests on animals toward trials on human tissue.

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 ...
