Prebiotics are dietary molecules that support the growth of beneficial microbes in the intestine. The overall aims of this project are to study the effects of various probiotic bacteria or prebiotics on intestinal inflammation, using cultured mammalian cells and\/or induced colitis in mice as the experimental models. For cell culture-based projects, students will learn mammalian cell culture techniques, and other techniques that may include nucleic acid isolation, PCR, and immunofluorescent staining and microscopy. For mouse-based projects, students will learn laboratory animal handling and assessment of clinical signs of colitis, and other techniques that may include nucleic acid isolation, PCR, histology, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:31px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:31px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Requirements<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\" style=\"transform:translate3d(0,0,0);\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reliability is the most important requirement!
