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 specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

The female reproductive system includes organs that produce hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Ovaries release one mature egg each month during ovulation. Fallopian tubes transport the egg from ...

Reproductive biology involves the scientific study of the reproductive system. Improved understanding of reproductive biology can lead to new treatments for reproductive disorders, such as infertility ...

The genitourinary system, also called the “urogenital system,” consists of the urinary and reproductive systems. The genitourinary system refers to the urinary and reproductive systems. In people ...

A new study provides the first evidence of a direct interaction between kisspeptins, proteins crucial for sexual development, and astrocytes, non-neuronal cells of the nervous system, blazing new ...

A new article in Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology examines how the immune system and reproduction interact in female mammals, especially during pregnancy, from mating to birth. Microplastics can ...

Researchers create models of organs such as a uterus and cervix in the laboratory. In the quest to study human reproduction, scientists have built a rudimentary model of the female system in the lab.

Aug. 17 (UPI) --A new study has identified a specific protein known as COUP-TFII that determines whether a mouse embryo develops a male reproductive system. Researchers from the National Institutes of ...

A protein called COUP-TFII determines whether a mouse embryo develops a male reproductive tract, according to new research. The discovery changes the long-standing belief that an embryo will ...

A protein called COUP-TFII determines whether a mouse embryo develops a male reproductive tract, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues at Baylor College of ...
