Diseases of the intestine are a considerable source of human
morbidity and mortality, and span disorders of absorption, inflammatory
bowel diseases, cancer, and metabolism. Surprisingly, despite the
wealth of investigations into intestinal physiology and
pathophysiology, primary intestinal culture is essentially not utilized
at all as an experimental tool. This current project seeks to address
this notable deficiency through the development of three-dimensional
scaffold-based systems for primary human intestinal culture.
