Emulate launched the Colon Intestine-Chip for researchers investigating inflammatory intestinal diseases. The complete, lab-ready Human Emulation System and the Colon Intestine-Chip will allow researchers to recapitulate specific human colon cell functionality, gain a greater understanding of mechanisms of inflammation, and investigate potential drug targets, says Lorna Ewart, executive vice president of science, at Emulate, adding that the model will also accelerate identification of drug candidates to prevent inflammatory damage that are more likely to translate to the clinic.
The company plans to continue developing further applications for the Colon Intestine-Chip, enabling researchers to study immune cell recruitment and how the gut microbiome affects the epithelial barrier.
