Researchers develop oral capsule to control gut bacteria via mobile app
New Delhi: Researchers have developed an orally ingestible capsule that can be used to control gut bacteria via a smartphone app, showcasing a potential for digitally monitoring health and a remotely-controllable intervention, they said.
The team from Tianjin University and other institutes in China trialled the capsule in pigs with colon inflammation.
In a paper published in the journal Nature Microbiology, the researchers have described how it can help control and allow for a two-way communication with gut bacteria.
