Integrated multi-scale strategies to investigate nutritional compounds and their effect on the gut microbiota

- Combining different models is a powerful strategy for studying the human gut microbiota.
- In vitro models provide highly controlled solutions to specifically target gut microbiota responses.
- Animal models are useful to build knowledge on host/gut microbiota interactions.
- Human studies are crucial for final validation of diet and food impact in the gut.
- Integrated multiscale strategies are used to unravel the complex mechanisms of gut microbiota interactions.
