Conformal Organic Devices for Electronic Brain-gut REAdout and CharactERisation
Over 100M people in Europe live with a digestive disorder, and this number is rising. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex ecosystem which facilitates digestion and regulates food intake in addition to regulating immune function in order to effectively guard against pathogens while tolerating innocuous antigens. It also acts as a sensory organ. The GI tract is connected with the brain via neuronal and hormonal signalling pathways which form the gut-brain axis (GBA). Dysregulation of the GBA contributes to local pathologies such as inflammatory bowel disease and is implicated in the development of neuropathologies such as Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
