These models exhibit gene expression and phenotypic characteristics that strongly align with native human intestinal tissue, including hallmark features of IBD such as epithelial barrier dysfunction and fibrosis. Importantly, the Company’s platform demonstrated responsiveness to clinically used therapeutics, confirming its potential for identifying compounds that promote mucosal healing and prevent stricture formation – two critical goals in IBD treatment.
