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 ...

Despite the fact that we all start out as an egg cell in one of our mother's ovaries, these human reproductive organs are surprisingly under-studied. Scientists have been working on creating in vitro ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

But will these “bodyoids” ever be ethically acceptable? This week, MIT Technology Review published a piece on bodyoids—living bodies that cannot think or feel pain. In the piece, a trio of experts ...

Cloning human organs has sparked intense interest and debate in recent years, drawing attention from scientific, ethical, and medical communities. The potential for cloning human organs presents ...

Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...

The quest to grow functional human organs in animal hosts has made significant strides, marking a revolutionary leap in regenerative medicine and transplantation. This groundbreaking research offers ...
