Their study, “A tissue-engineered uterus supports live births in rabbits,” was published in Nature Biotechnology and led by Anthony Atala, MD, director of WFIRM.

Q: Our children were given two rabbits, and they'd like to know each bunny's sex before they name them. We parents would like ...

Rabbits have long been used in reproductive biology research and are ideal for uterine tissue regeneration studies as they have a relatively large uterus compared with other laboratory animals.

The female rabbit's uterus is formed by two separated, functional uterine horns and cervices, each with a capacity to carry a pregnancy. The biodegradable polymer scaffold constructs were custom ...

Two English scientists have devised a technique for controlling the sex of rabbits. Their method, the first to achieve 100% accuracy with any mammal, may some day be applied to humans.

The activity of carbonic anhydrase in the rabbit endometrium closely resembles the overall pattern of uterine zinc, which increases during the progestational phase of pregnancy.
