Many human gut bacteria of clinical relevance are extremely oxygen sensitive, hampering the investigation of crosstalk with host cells. Zhang et al. developed a gut-microbe physiomimetic platform for long-term continuous co-culture of super oxygen-sensitive bacterial species with primary human colon epithelium in the context of inflammation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
