TL;DR Summary

Researchers in Barcelona are developing an artificial uterus made from special materials to protect premature babies who have not fully developed. The artificial uterus, tested on animal fetuses, recreates a protected environment for organ development and is connected to a system that introduces amniotic fluid. The team plans to conduct further tests on pigs before proposing human studies. While the development is interesting, experts emphasize the need for thorough testing on humans and stress the importance of supporting maternal health to reduce preterm birth risks.
