Results of Chinese scientists: After being conjoined with a female rat and getting a uterus, the male rat became pregnant and gave birth to ten cubs

A recent study by Chinese scientists showed that through a pregnant mouse model constructed on male mice, the male mice successfully gave birth to cubs through caesarean section, and finally 10 cubs developed to adulthood

The above research results were published on the life science preprint platform bioRxiv, entitled "A rat model of pregnancy in the male parabiont", published on June 16th, the author is the Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Naval Medical University, Naval Medical University, Zhang Rongjia, Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Naval Medical University, Naval Medical University, and Liu Yuhuan, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University

According to the paper, the study used four steps to construct a pregnant mouse model on male mice

According to the paper, in the end, 10 cubs were successfully delivered from male rats by caesarean section and developed to adulthood

Histological examination showed that the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, testis, epidermis, ovary or uterus of the offspring who were successfully delivered from the male rats by caesarean section had no obvious abnormalities
