«This work provides a proof of principle for using stem cell - derived human
intestinal organoids in a therapeutic setting.»

These transgenic stem cells also readily created
intestinal tissues called «
organoids»
in laboratory dishes.
«We have shown that the hydrogel matrix helps the human
intestinal organoids (HIOs) engraft into the
intestinal tissue, that they differentiate and accelerate the healing of the wound,» said Andrés J. García, Regents» Professor
in Georgia Tech's Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering.
To better understand the intestine
in its normal and pathological states, researchers have created «
organoids» by isolating
intestinal stem cells from human biopsy samples.
«Because the primary Small Intestine Chip recapitulates the physical microenvironment that cells experience inside the human body, such as fluid flow and cyclic peristalsis - like stretching motions, it exhibits a genome - wide gene expression profile that comes closer to its
in vivo counterpart than that of the same
intestinal cells grown as 3D
organoids,» said first - author Magdalena Kasendra, Ph.D., a former Postdoctoral Fellow on Ingber's team and now Principal Scientist at Emulate, Inc.
in Boston.
The other one, the finding by the Clevers group
in Utrecht that adult Lgr5 + stem cells from the intestine, grown 3D
in the presence of basement membrane matrix and a defined set of niche factors, can develop into ever - expanding, genome - stable 3D
organoids that resemble the structure and function of the original
intestinal epithelium (13 - 16).
In the Intestine Chip, the epithelium forms villi - like projections lined by polarized epithelial cells that undergo multi-lineage differentiation similar to that of
intestinal organoids, however, these cells expose their apical surfaces to an open lumen and interface with endothelium.
ANN ARBOR, Mich — By combining engineered polymeric materials known as hydrogels with complex
intestinal tissue known as
organoids — made from human pluripotent stem cells — researchers have taken an important step toward creating a new technology for controlling the growth of these
organoids and using them for treating wounds
in the gut that can be caused by disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The primary epithelial cells are expanded as 3D
organoids, dissociated, and cultured on a porous membrane within a microfluidic device with human
intestinal microvascular endothelium cultured
in a parallel microchannel under flow and cyclic deformation.
The
intestinal organoids that grew from these elements developed several of the singular characteristics of that tissue type, including small knobby protrusions (crypts) that
in full - size intestines serve as receptacles for stem cells.
