Implantable synthetic organoid matrices for intestinal regeneration

Nature Cell Biology 19, 1307 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3635 Authors: Jeffrey W. Brown & Jason C. Mills Organoids are a powerful tool to study both physiological and disease processes. A completely synthetic matrix assembled from exchangeable modular parts has been developed and not only supports proliferation of human intestinal organoids derived from pluripotent embryonic stem cells, but also augments subsequent ad vivo implantation into injured murine colon.
