High-molecular-weight polymers from dietary fiber drive aggregation of particulates in the murine small intestine

The lumen of the small intestine (SI) is filled with particulates: microbes, therapeutic particles, and food granules. The structure of this particulate suspension could impact uptake of drugs and nutrients and the function of microorganisms; however, little is understood about how this suspension i...
