Scientists discover interactions between gut bacteria and immune cells that cause inflammatory bowel disease in glycogen storage disease.
Gut-on-a-chip helps get to the bottom of inflammatory bowel disease
A microfluidic chip could help researchers uncover the unknown underlying mechanisms that cause inflammatory bowel disease.
How a gut-on-a-chip is getting to the bottom of our gut’s microbiome
This artificial gut will allow scientists to gain deeper insights into the biome that exists there and how dysregulation can lead to disease.
Soft robot transports and delivers drugs inside the gut
A shape-shifting robot can access hard-to-reach locations in the GI tract, and is a step up from conventional endoscopic techniques.
Leveraging our gut bacteria to treat depression
An extensive database will help scientists better understand the link between our gut microbiota and depression to inform new, tailored therapies.
A robotic pill monitors disease in the gut
A robotic pill capable of collecting biomarkers, including proteins and bacteria, from the gut provides an easy-to-use disease screening tool.
Could domestication be linked to animals’ gut bacteria?
Researchers look to the guts of chickens’ ancestors to gain insights into domestication.
Changing gluten intake found to have no impact on gut inflammation in healthy individuals
Understanding how gluten affects the gut is a key to understanding whether gluten-free diets are merely a fad or based in solid science.
The power within our gut
How can computational modeling help to better understand and predict when the power cells of our gut fail?
