Surgeons Successfully Regenerate Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine From Frozen Intest

[News Reporter]

Surgeons at Children's Hospital Los Angeles have conducted a study that could put regenerative tissue treatment for short bowel syndrome one step closer to the bedside. The researchers were able to successfully isolate and store organoid units and later generate tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) in a mouse model. The groundbreaking results were presented at the 2011 Annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. During the study, surgeons extracted organoid units from the small intestines of young mice...
