Topic of doctoral thesis
Title: Influence of different bacterial strains on the enteric nervous system
Content: The human microbiome is composed of a multitude of different bacteria. In this thesis we investigated the effects of individual bacterial strains, as part of the intestinal microbiome, on the enteric nervous system (ENS), or intestinal motility, as one of the
Title: Establishment of an innervated, in vivo equivalent 3D co-culture model of the intestinal mucosa
Content: The functions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as food transport, digestion and regional blood circulation, are regulated and controlled by the enteric nervous system (ENS). The ENS is not only exposed to the microbiome and food c
