Mucus production, host-microbiome interactions, hormone sensitivity, and innate immune responses modeled in human cervix chips
29 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Modulation of the cervix by steroid hormones and commensal microbiome play a central role in the health of the female reproductive tract. Here we describe organ-on-a-chip (Organ Chip) models that recreate the human cervical epithelial-stromal interface with a functional epithelial barrier and production of mucus with biochemical and hormone-responsive properties similar to living cervix. When Cervix Chips are...
