Big Breakthrough in Artificial Wombs | SciShow News

The video discusses a study on an artificial womb for mouse embryos, which could revolutionize developmental biology by allowing real-time observation of mammalian development. The setup uses nutrient-rich fluids and a ventilation system to sustain embryos outside the uterus. Challenges remain in scaling up nutrition for later development stages. The video also covers a new artificial heart valve for children, made from sheep skin cells, which grows with the child, potentially reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
