Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation’s Post

Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s have developed a scalable new way to grow human gut organoids that are nearly 10x larger and mature twice as fast as previous methods. Using specially designed 3D-printed scaffolding trays, the research team created a “confined culture system” that enables intestinal, stomach and colon organoids to develop their own functional nervous systems — without needing nerve cells to be added artificially. This advance brings lab-grown human tissue closer to real-world therapeutic use, including disease modeling, drug testing and future regenerative medicine applications such as growing transplantable tissue for patients with intestinal damage or dysfunction. The study, published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, represents another major step forward in organoid medicine and tissue engineering. 🔗 Read more about the breakthrough on our Science Blog: https://lnkd.in/eivSUz5a 🔬 Research led by Holly Poling, PhD, and Maxime MAHE, PhD, with multiple Cincinnati Children's collaborators and experts from INSERM and Nantes Université. #Organoids #RegenerativeMedicine #StemCellResearch #BiomedicalEngineering
