A team in Spain says it kept a donated human uterus alive outside the body for 24 hours.
The machine, called PUPER, circulates modified human blood through the organ.
Researchers want to use the system to study implantation, uterine disorders, and eventually a full menstrual cycle.
The work has not yet been published, so the result remains preliminary.
