Scientists Create Lab-Grown Womb Lining to Study Early Pregnancy
Researchers have successfully created a replica of the human womb lining, enabling the study of early embryo implantation in a lab setting. This breakthrough offers new insights into pregnancy loss and infertility, with similar research also conducted by Chinese teams.
- Researchers engineered a functional replica of the human womb lining (endometrium).
- Early-stage human embryos successfully implanted into the lab-grown lining.
- This model allows real-time observation of embryo-womb interactions.
- Aims to understand causes of early pregnancy loss and infertility.
- Separate teams, including in China, reported similar advancements.
- The research provides a critical window into the previously 'black box' of implantation.
