Here, we report a pathomimetic Leaky Gut Chip that recapitulates increased epithelial permeability and intestinal inflammation to assess probiotic intervention as live biotherapeutics. We leveraged mechanodynamic human gut-on-a-chip (Gut Chip) recreates three-dimensional layers in controlled oxygen gradient biomechanical cues, where the addition of cocktail pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α IL-1β, reproducibly induced impaired barrier followed by inflammation. This inflamed leaky epithelium...
Disease detection through gas analysis has long been the topic of many studies because its potential as a rapid diagnostic technique. In particular, pathogens that cause urinary tract infection (UTI) have shown to generate different profiles volatile organic compounds, thus enabling discrimination causative agents using an electronic nose. While past performed data collection on either agar culture or jellified urine culture, this study measures headspace volume liquid samples. Evaporation...
