A Gut-on-a-Chip Model to Study the Gut Microbiome-Nervous System Axis

Abstract excerpt

The human body is colonized by at least the same number of microbial cells as it is composed of human cells, and most of these microorganisms are located in the gut. Though the interplay between the gut microbiome and the host has been extensively studied, how the gut microbiome interacts with the enteric nervous system remains largely unknown.
