Cervix-on-a-Chip for human Papillomavirus research
Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Tuebingen, Germany
Cervical cancer arises from persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) which can lead to a precancerous lesion (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and squamous cell carcinoma. In contrast, low-risk HPV strains cause anogenital warts. However, most infections are cleared without any symptoms. This Micro OrganoLab project is focused on a patient-specific Cervix-on-a-Chip model that allows mechanistic research, disease modelling and drug testing.
