Imagine growing a miniature version of the human intestine in the lab to study gut biology in great detail and test medicines before clinical trials? We are happy to share our latest publication on bioengineered human mini-intestines: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19… Let’s dive in!

Lastly we induced inflammation and found vasculature released cytokines for potential immune cell infiltration (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8) and polarization (GM-CSF, IL-12p70) which was absent in avascular tissues. This underscores the importance of integrating vasculature for IBD studies
