Story summary

Researchers developed a lab-engineered womb lining that mimics early pregnancy and enables implantation.
This system lets scientists observe chemical interactions between embryos and the womb lining.
Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn from the Babraham Institute said the method could explain why many embryos fail to implant.
Future studies will focus on the implantation process and potential complications.
Separately, researchers have identified drugs that may help patients with recurrent implantation failure.
