Over a decade ago, serious issues involving plasticizers emerged, raising public concern about food safety and health. Even ...

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 ...

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 ...

Reproductive disorders are diseases involving the reproductive system, including reproductive tract infections, congenital abnormalities, cancers of the reproductive system and sexual dysfunction.

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
