    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Stem Cell Biology
    • Organoid Technology

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders impact a significant portion of the population, with limited therapeutic options targeting core functional deficiencies like peristalsis.
    • Existing animal models are complex and low-throughput, while current human in vitro systems like human intestinal organoids (HIOs) lack crucial enteric nerves for modeling peristalsis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and discuss approaches for generating complex in vitro human intestinal models.
    • To enable comprehensive modeling of common intestinal pathologies and gut function.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current stem cell differentiation techniques to create human intestinal organoids (HIOs).
    • Discussion of strategies to incorporate enteric nerves and smooth muscle into HIOs to achieve functional peristalsis.

    Main Results:

    • Human induced and embryonic pluripotent stem cells can be differentiated into HIOs with epithelial and mesenchymal complexity.
    • Current HIOs lack enteric nerves, preventing the modeling of peristaltic movements.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing biologically complete human intestinal models is essential for studying gut pathologies.
    • Fully functional HIOs with enteric nerves would provide a platform for preclinical drug absorption and efficacy studies.
