Infertile mouse gives birth after receiving 3D printed ovaries

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering have successfully implanted a bioprosthetic ovary into an infertile mouse. Researchers from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering (both IL, USA) have utilized 3D printing to produce a bioprostheic ovary and implant it into an infertile mouse. The mouse was able to ovulate and has now given birth to pups. The results of the study were published in Nature Communications. The aim of this study was to restore fertility in mice by encouraging hormone production. This was achieved by exchanging an infertile mouse's...
