Scientists have managed to recreate a human vagina’s microbiome on a chip, providing a breakthrough inVaginal microbiome disruptions cause bacterial vaginosis , which affects nearly 30% of reproductive-aged women around the globe and costs an estimated $4.8 billion to treat annually.
BV is currently treated with antibiotics, but it often recurs and can lead to more severe complications including pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University have created a solution to that problem in the form of a new ‘Organ Chip’ that replicates the human vaginal tissue microenvironment including its microbiome., is composed of human vaginal epithelium and underlying connective tissue cells, the Vagina Chip replicates many of the physiological features of the vagina and can be inoculated with different strains of bacteria to study their effects on the organ’s health.
