How do you study the uterus without studying the whole animal?
Researchers created lab-grown "mini tissues" from horse uterine cells that mimic real structures real cycle changes.
A promising tool for advancing fertility and reproductive research.

Creating genetically modified mice just got more precise.
Researchers used a tool from the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) to efficiently produce mice with a single copy of a gene—improving accuracy for research models.
A small tweak with big impact for science.

What helps an embryo develop in its earliest stages?
New research in sheep shows a protein (TGF-β3) supports embryo growth by helping cells manage fats—key for forming the placenta later on.
A small detail with big implications for fertility pregnancy research.

Latest #EditorsChoice! New research shows germline stem cells can restore fertility in mice without removing existing testis tissue first. Success depends on recipient age — younger testes allow better colonization and offspring production. academic.oup.com/biolreprod/…
