摘要
The presently disclosed subject matter provides systems and methods for producing a three-dimensional model of a human cervix. A microdevice is provided for culturing human cervical cells. The microdevice can include an upper microchannel including live ectocervical epithelial cells. The microdevice can include a lower microchannel including a first parallel lane and a second parallel lane including stromal media. The first and the second parallel lanes can be lined with live vascular endothelial cells. The lower microchannel can include a third parallel lane including uterine fibroblasts and live smooth muscle cells embedded in hydrogel. The first, second, and third lanes of the lower microchannel can be separated by protrusion structures. The third parallel lane can be positioned in the lower microchannel in between the first and the second parallel lanes. The microdevice can further include a porous membrane positioned in between the upper microchannel and the lower microchannel.
