Device Mimicking Female Reproductive Cycle Could Aid Research
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.
Scientists say they've made a device in the lab that can mimic the human female reproductive cycle.
The researchers hope the device, assembled from living tissue, will lead to new treatments for many medical problems that plague some women, ranging from fibroids and endometriosis to infertility, miscarriages and gynecologic cancers.
The researchers the device Tuesday in the journaland dubbed it the EVATAR. The name, they say, is a play on the word "avatar."
