Cover Story: The word “microbiota” refers to all the microorganisms that reside within the human body. An alteration of the human gut microbiota composition seems to have a relevant role in the development of several diseases, ranging from dementia to autism, from renal (e.g., pyelonephritis) to hepatic diseases (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Fabricating an in vitro model of the human gut microbiota is an enabling step to shed light on the intricate relationship between microorganisms and human host. Here, we present a novel approach to the culture of the human gut microbiota using an electrospun scaffold to support the adhesion and proliferation of microorganisms. View this paper
