3D-Printed Pill Samples Gut Microbiome to Aid Diagnosis and Treatment
A research team led by Tufts University engineers has developed a 3D printed pill that samples bacteria found in the gut - known as the microbiome - as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract (GI). The ability to profile bacterial species inhabiting the gut could have important implications for conditions that affect and are affected by the intestinal microbiome, according to the researchers.
