Zusammenfassung: | [...]we truly have a dearth of options when it comes to treatment options for women who require ovarian stimulation and the pipeline from discovery to utilization is long and arduous. Evatar has compartments that are designed to mimic a woman's ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and cervix. Because the vast majority of hormones are metabolized by the liver, the chip also includes a "liver compartment" that affords researchers a bio-plausible glimpse into how the system works. With administration of exogenous follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), the researchers can induce ovulation on Day 14 and induce a 28-day menstrual cycle-all on a chip! |
