The world's first ECMO artificial uterus experiment was successful, creating the possibility of male pregnancy.

In July this year, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University completed the fourth "de-ECMO artificial uterus animal experiment", and fetal sheep survived outside the mother's body for 90 minutes, achieving the world's first successful case.

The de-ECMO artificial uterus theoretically creates conditions for male pregnancy by simulating the uterine environment and allowing embryos to develop in a non-maternal body. Its core principle is to use an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system to provide oxygen and nutrients to embryos and eliminate metabolic waste.

In the experiment, the researchers grew early embryos in the laboratory and implanted them in an artificial womb. The embryos are effectively life-supported in the artificial womb and are developing well.

The achievement marks a major breakthrough in artificial wombs that mimic natural fertility environments, laying the groundwork for possible future clinical applications. But it has also sparked a debate in the scientific community about the future of fertility, including its potential medical, ethical and social implications.

At present, de-ECMO artificial uterus technology still needs further research and validation to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
