<p>Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital are developing a miniaturized 3-D system derived from human gut and nerve cells. 
</p><p>Photo A above shows nerve cells that were incorporated into human gut tissue grown from iPSCs (Photo B). When incorporated onto a chip, the result will be a gut on a chip, complete with nerves and a cross-sectional structure resembling that of human intestines, as shown on the bottom right.
