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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan have developed an adaptive motion reproduction system that allows robots to generate human-like movements using surprisingly small amounts of training data. Despite rapid advances ...

Male and female reproductive systems allow human reproduction. Fertilisation occurs when a sperm and egg join to form an embryo. An embryo develops into an unborn baby in the uterus during pregnancy.

A researcher has found new evidence that the plastic additive BPA can disrupt women's reproductive systems, causing chromosome damage, miscarriages and birth defects. Scientists report seeing ...

Both usually produce few young at one time, and ensure their survival by caring for them. Unlike mammals, birds lay eggs and initial stages of development occur outside the mother’s body. Reproductive ...
