Development of a module to study the gut biofilm formation and the host-microbiota interaction (Type 2) Ghent University
The aim of the present project is the development of an in vitro cell culture-based system that biofilm formation and host - interaction microbiota in the intestinal lumen simulates biologically relevant way. In order to achieve this is to emulate the system has two important properties of the gastro-intestinal tract (GI): (i) the absorption of molecules from the different digestion steps, and (ii) bacterial adhesion to the gastheerepitheel ...
