For this purpose, we combine microscopy, genomics, and molecular biology, with a unique gut organ culture system which we have recently developed. This system allows us to perform experiments which cannot be readily performed otherwise and has recently led us to discover that enteric neurons mediate microbiota-induced T-cells development in the gut. Dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying neuro- immune-microbiome cross-talks may lead to the development of microbiome-based, personalized therapy for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
