Scientists in the United States have developed a bio bag filled with fluid that mimics the environment of the womb and the functions of the placenta - and it has kept preterm lambs alive and growing.

The scientists made amniotic fluid in their lab and got it to flow in and out of the bag. They say the device could transform care for extremely premature babies - born at between 23 and 26 weeks of gestation - and significantly improve their chances of survival.
