Hi Ben, great questions…

1. There is no consensus yet if Vagina is hypoxic or not. The current methods of measuring comes with its own challenges such as tampon based sensors leading to influx of atmospheric air. So, keeping in mind the focus of the study we decided to go with the low O2 conditions provided by the consumption of O2 by cells and influx of O2 by episodic flow which was verified using COMSOL.

2. This is not something explored yet but will be great to add it in future work by current team at Wyss. I will provide this feedback to them.
