Abstract

Nutrition presents unanswered scientific questions of high public health importance. We envision model systems composed of interacting gastrointestinal and metabolic tissues derived from human embryonic stem cells, populated by gut microbiota. The culture will be embedded in 3D scaffolds, creating a controlled experimental system that enables tissue sampling and imaging.
