A new study creates a detailed 'atlas' of the various cell types and their gene activities within the highly specialized fallopian tube, paving the way for new research into infertility and other ...

The fallopian tube is the site of fertilization, where once a month for the duration of a female's post-pubescent, pre-menopausal life, an egg is moved from the ovary, ready for fertilization by a ...

The fallopian tubes—long, slender structures connecting the ovaries and the uterus—play an important role in women’s reproductive health. Their fringed ends collect the egg from the ovary, coaxing it ...

Pelvic inflammatory diseases occur when pathogenic bacteria colonize areas of the female reproductive system, such as the uterus or fallopian tubes. While easily treated with antibiotics, these ...

Human tissues normally discarded after surgical procedures could be a rich additional source of stem cells for regenerative medicine. New research from BioMed Central's open access Journal of ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger of a deadly form of ovarian cancer. Discovery of a subset of high-risk progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - New research suggests that fallopian tube cells rather than ovarian surface cells are the probable site of origin of most cases of ovarian serous carcinoma, the most common ...

Unlike the normal Fallopian tube (left), the "cilia-less" Fallopian tube fails to pick up ovulated eggs, leading to female infertility (right). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

The journey of the egg and the embryo through the fallopian tube or oviduct toward the uterus is not well understood, mainly because it is inaccessible for direct imaging. Looking to shed new light on ...
