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 ...

Cervical epithelial cells are far from passive bystanders in the body's immune system. New research shows they actually play an active and highly coordinated role in detecting and fighting infections.

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 ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers developed human Cervical Organ Chips to model the cervical interface. These chips enable the investigation of mucus ...

To create a cervix-on-a-chip, the researchers added cells that line the cervical canal to one channel of a microfluidic device. To an adjacent channel, they introduced cervical fibroblasts that form ...

Genital infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted conditions. The central causal role in cervical carcinogenesis of the so-called high oncogenic-risk ...

Graphical illustration of the single-cell atlas of the human uterine cervix. It highlights the comparison of tissue and organoid cell types, how pathogen infection affects the cervical cells, and the ...
