3D Printed Ovaries Work In Mice, Study Says.

reported on the work of Dr. Monica M. Laronda in developing 3D printed ovaries. Thus far, Dr. Laronda “and her team of researchers successfully implanted their lab-grown ovaries into mice.” According to Vice, “After replacing their biological ovaries with the bioprosthetic, the mice were able to ovulate normally, give birth to healthy...baby mice, and nurse them.” The work was presented at the Endocrine Society meeting. Now, Dr. Laronda “is hoping that soon the same technology can be used to make an ovary prosthesis that could restore fertility in women, according to a press release.” https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/the-first-3d-printed-ovary-has-arrived?
