Researchers developed an immune-capable cervix-on-a-chip using human cells and microbiomes. The model showed how microbiome ...

New organ-on-a-chip recreates the cervix’s microbiome and immune system, revealing how bacteria shape STI infection risk.

Scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and the University of California, Davis, have developed a microfluidic model of the human cervix. This ...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) not only impact an individual's health, but also result in multibillion-dollar economic losses worldwide. To study these diseases, a team of researchers has ...

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) has been identified as one of the many unmet needs in women's health and affects more than 25% of reproductive-aged women. It is caused by pathogenic bacteria that push the ...

Scientists have coaxed human cells to form a miniature replica of the cervix during pregnancy. This so-called cervix-on-a-chip reveals how inflammation and the vaginal microbiome can contribute to ...

The team modeled the cervical wall by growing human cervical epithelial cells in one of two parallel channels running through a microfluidic device the size of a USB memory stick and cervical ...
