The female reproductive system is one of the most vital parts of the human reproductive process. Although a man is needed to reproduce, it is the woman who incubates the developing fetus and ...

Elsevier has launched “the most advanced 3-D full female model ever available”, according to claims in a recent press release.

I'm very excited to see this important step forward in being able to study human ovaries in the lab, and look forward to the insights that such a model will provide about female reproductive ...

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 ...

The work builds on numerous earlier organ-on-a-chip studies that explored ways to model the human body. The new system is still far from a perfect stand-in for female anatomy: It lacks both the ...

Scientists have assembled a lab system from living tissue that can replicate a woman's 28-day hormonal cycle. The goal is to use the system to find new ways to treat a host of women's health problems.

The main external structures of the female reproductive system include: Labia majora. The labia majora, meaning "large lips," enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs.
