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 ...

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.

The following outlines aspects of the female reproductive system, including the internal and external organs, the menstrual cycle, the egg, and reproductive hormones. The menstrual cycle is a monthly ...

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 ...

The findings, published in two studies, show that SN stimulates the growth and activity of neurons that control reproduction, and does so through a previously unknown delivery mechanism: tiny ...

The female reproductive organs include several key structures, such as the ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. These organs function in fertility, conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. The ...

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 ...
