New model pinpoints drug interactions in the digestive tract

Any drug that is taken orally must pass through the lining of the digestive tract. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many drugs, it's unknown which of those transporters they use to exit the digestive tract.
