With our
human gut - on - a-chip, we can not only culture the normal
gut microbiome for extended times, but we can also analyze contributions of pathogens, immune cells, and vascular and lymphatic endothelium, as well as model
specific diseases to understand complex pathophysiological responses of the intestinal tract.»
«Our new findings suggest that black tea, through a
specific mechanism through the
gut microbiome, may also contribute to good health and weight loss in
humans.»
