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.

Researchers have figured out a way to integrate each organ type involved in the menstrual cycle into one fully-functioning unit, all on a Petri dish. Read on: ...

Ovarian cells did their thing in a dish for researchers who used microfluidics and chips to recreate a female menstrual cycle. weisschr/iStock The human body is really complicated—and the ...

A simulated female reproductive system behaves almost like the real thing over 28 days. “Menstruation in a dish is one of my goals,” says Julie Kim of Northwestern University in Chicago.

EVATAR is a book-size lab system that can replicate a woman's reproductive cycle. Each compartment contains living tissue from a different part of the reproductive tract. The blue fluid pumps through ...

Cells that would die in a petri dish stayed alive for a standard 28-day reproductive cycle. The researchers jump-started the system's chemical communications with an injection of pituitary hormone.
