Exploring Glial Cells in the Gut

The chapter delves into a study on the diverse roles and subtypes of glial cells in the gut, discussing their molecular profiles and unique functions such as hub cells. The implications of these findings in gastrointestinal diseases, neurological disorders, and aging processes are highlighted. Additionally, the development and challenges of using 3D tissue models with microfluidic devices to study the gut's muscle, pacemaker cells, and glial cells are explained.
