Gut contractions facilitate the action of two pathogens

Scientists have assessed the influence of mechanical contractions in the gut on the invasion of two pathogens, one responsible for amebiasis and the other for shigellosis. Their research was based on 3D computational imaging and organ-on-chip technology, which enabled them to accurately reproduce the physiological characteristics of the gut on a chip no larger than a few centimeters.
