intestinal organoids

Intestinal organoids are tiny, lab-grown models that mimic the structure and function of the intestines. Created from stem cells, these miniature versions of the gut allow scientists to study intestinal development, diseases, and responses to drugs in a controlled environment. Because they replicate key features of human intestines, organoids provide valuable insights into conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and can help in testing treatments. By using these organoids, researchers can advance our understanding of gut health and develop better therapeutic strategies without needing to rely solely on animal models or human trials.
