Functional metagenomics: a high throughput screening method to decipher microbiota-driven NF-κB modulation in the human gut.
<h4>Background/aim</h4>The human intestinal microbiota plays an important role in modulation of mucosal immune responses. To study interactions between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and commensal bacteria, a functional metagenomic approach was developed. One interest of metagenomics...

<h4>Background/aim</h4>The human intestinal microbiota plays an important role in modulation of mucosal immune responses.
