Organ Model: Cervix
Application: Microbiome
Highlights
In this review, the authors highlight how the human Cervix-Chip replicates essential cervical functions such as mucus production and responses to hormonal, microbial, and environmental cues. They describe its value as a preclinical model for studying mucosal immunity, microbiome interactions, and risk factors in reproductive health and disease. The chip is presented as a translational platform to advance drug screening, diagnostics, and therapeutic development for women’s health.
