Taking a Closer Look at Microbial Friends and Foes With Intestine-on-a-Chip – Technology Networks
Researchers have harnessed Wyss’s microfluidic Organ Chip technology to model the different anatomical sections of the mouse intestine and their symbiosis with…
Trillions of commensal microbes live on the mucosal and epidermal surfaces of the body and it is firmly established that this microbiome affects its hosts tolerance and sensitivity to a variety of pathogens. However, host tolerance to infection with pathogens is not equally developed in all organisms.
