Abstract

Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease is linked to complex interactions with the intestinal microbiome. In article number1805568, Alireza Abbaspourrad and co‐workers introduce a microfluidic approach to embed viable bacteria in microfiber for co‐culturing human enteric microbes. This approach is an important step toward a realistic in‐vitro model of the human intestinal microbiome, paving the way to in‐depth in‐vitro studies of related diseases.
