Human gut is mapped out at single cell resolution for the first time

Some people can eat chilli with no trouble at all, while for others they may get a backlash from their gut.

Not only that, but if you get nervous, you might feel it in your belly too. But just what is it that leads to these different reactions? And why is everyone different?

These answers and more may finally be in reach after scientists successfully mapped out the human gut at single cell resolution for the first time. 

They hope this breakthrough will open the door to exploring the many facets of gut health in a much more precise manner at greater resolution than ever before, while also providing key insights into intestinal diseases.
