Researchers from the group of Hans Clevers (Hubrecht Institute) developed the first patient-derived organoid model for cervical cancer. They also modeled the healthy human cervix using organoids. In ...

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 ...

New organ-on-a-chip recreates the cervix’s microbiome and immune system, revealing how bacteria shape STI infection risk. Scientists have been studying human cells since the invention of microscopes.

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 ...

A major breakthrough in biomedical engineering is changing how scientists study sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – and a researcher from the University of Delaware is at the forefront. Published ...

To practice cervical cancer biopsies, medical students might use models with raw meat. Yes, meat, such as beef tongue. This is messy and easily contaminated, and it’s especially impractical for warm ...
