Comparison of Different In Vivo Incubation Sites to Produce Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the impact of different in vivo incubation sites on the production of tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI).

Materials And Methods: Green fluorescent protein transgenic rat pups (3-5 days) were used as donors of intestinal organoids. Harvested intestine was exposed to enzymatic digestion to release intestinal stem cell-containing organoids.
