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

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 ...

The human gut microbiome is crucial for human health and disease but exhibits extensive individual-level strain variation. Distinct strains encode and express different functions. The resulting emergent properties therefore differentially affect human health and disease in a personalized manner. Pryszlak et al. have made strides in tackling the challenge of genome-based microbiome screening which will ultimately yield strain-level understanding of the functional roles played by the human gut microbiome.
