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 ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa and the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a new role for reproductive hormone secretoneurin (SN) and, for the first ...

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 ...
