O-295 Analysis of human sperm behavior and assessment of non-hormonal contraceptive efficacy in a human cervix chip
Abstract
Can a microfluidic Organ Chip model of the human cervix replicate cervical conditions to evaluate sperm translocation, motility and the efficacy of non-hormonal contraceptives?
Human Cervix Chip mimics the cervical microenvironment a...

Synergistic therapeutic effects of endolysin BNT331 and a Lactobacillus crispatus consortium in a human vagina chip model of bacterial vaginosis
Abstract
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal infection caused by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome characterized by a decrease in healthy bacteria dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus along with a concomitant increase in dysbiotic bacteri...

Induction of cervical dysfunction associated with preterm birth by IL-1 and dysbiotic microbiome revealed in human endocervix chips
Abstract
Cervical dysfunction, a major contributor to preterm labor and neonatal mortality, remains poorly understood due to the absence of physiologically relevant human models. Here, we show that a microfluidic human Endocervix Chip lined by p...

Human fallopian tube-on-a-chip for preclinical testing of non-hormonal contraceptives with living human sperm
Abstract
The fallopian tube serves as a sperm reservoir, and it is the site where the oocytes become fertilized. Here, we describe development of an organ-on-a-chip microfluidic model of the fallopian tube (FT Chip) lined by primary human epithe...
