Scientists Develop a Unique Model of the Human Small Intestine. It Could Replace Animal Testing
A scientific team from the Faculty of Technology (FT) and the Centre of Polymer Systems (CPS) at Tomas Bata University in Zlín, led by Professor Petr Humpolíček, is working in collaboration with the Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences on a new three-year project funded by the Czech Science Foundation. The aim of the project, entitled EXIT & SIT: Ex Vivo Models of the Small Intestine, is to create an advanced laboratory model of intestinal tissue that faithfully replicates both the structure and function of the human small intestine.
