| Abstract | This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) project investigates how the fallopian tube provides the physical environment that supports fertilization and the earliest stages of embryo development. Although embryo culture has improved through advances in chemical conditions, much less is known about the shape and mechanical behavior of the healthy Fallopian tube, even though that environment guides transport, contact, and early development. As a result, widely used culture surfaces remain far simp |
