The parallel gut bioreactors offer several utilities for research, including:Study of gut microbiota-host interactions: By simulating the conditions of the human gut, researchers can investigate the complex interactions between the gut microbiota and the host, including nutrient metabolism, immune responses, and the impact of various interventions.Evaluation of dietary interventions: The system...

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the gut of healthy adults typically houses an impressive diversity of bacteria, comprising over 1000 distinct species. These bacteria are instrumental in maintaining human health or potentially contributing to the development of diseases. To comprehensively investigate the intricate interactions between gut microbes and the human body, as well as en...

Millions of chemical and biochemical reactions, in which the gut microbes are involved, occur constantly in our intestines, and yet our knowledge of these processes is still far from sufficient. The products of these reactions can profoundly affect us, either as metabolites absorbed into the circulation, epitopes interacting with the immune system, or chemical compounds affecting our nerv...

Organoids are three-dimensional cell culture models that mimic the structure and function of specific organs or tissues. They are derived from stem cells or tissue samples and can self-organize into miniaturized versions of organs, providing a more physiologically relevant and representative model compared to traditional two-dimensional cell cultures. Organoids provide a unique platform to...

Culturomics, the study of cultural trends and patterns through large-scale analysis of textual data, has gained significant attention in recent years. Traditional culturomics methods relied on manual analysis, which was labor-intensive and time-consuming. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the field of culturomics has witnessed a revolution. AI-aided cul...
