Intestinal Organoids
Intestinal organoids are 3D microtissue models that recapitulate structures in the intestinal lumen and on the surrounding intestinal epithelium.
Most intestinal organoids are derived from primary intestinal tissue cultured in Matrigel domes with growth factors. Under these conditions, the intestinal cells self-arrange to form a single epithelial layer. The epithelium contains the essential cell populations found in the adult intestinal epithelium and is arranged in a crypt-villus structure. It can simulate essential intestinal functions, such as nutrient absorption and mucus secretion.
The cell composition and arrangement of the epithelium make intestinal organoids useful for studying intestinal cell biology, regeneration, differentiation, as wells as diseases phenotypes including effects of specific mutations, microbiome, or inflammation process.
