Scientific Abstract

We present a project that aims to characterize the pediatric enteric nervous system (ENS) based on analyses of pediatric intestinal tissue, blood and stool. The interaction between the microbiome and the ENS in children will be focused as well as its influence on immunological responses. The complex processes of the pediatric microbiome-gut-brain axis have not yet been investigated and might be crucial in the pathogenesis of other diseases.
