New 3D printed “ovaries” enabled mice to give birth to live young

A suivre, mais c'est un bel espoir pour des femmes à qui on a du enlever les ovaires.

Extrait: @Thib, ça te rappellera certaines de nos discussions il y a quelques années ;)

The 3D printed ovaries aren’t exactly what you might be picturing. The technique the researchers used works like this: First they 3D printed a biodegradable scaffold, which holds the cells in and eventually breaks down inside the body. They then placed the mouse’s follicle cells—egg-producing cells that are naturally found in the ovaries—into the scaffold, and then surgically placed that scaffold into the mouse. The new follicle cells allowed the female mouse to ovulate, and eventually give birth to a litter of live young.
