Preclinical Animal Models of IBD, GVHD, and Pulmonary Disease
Join BioModels’ Scientists, Andrew Borkowski, PhD and Nicole Smith, PhD, as they discuss a selection of key preclinical models of inflammatory disease, including models of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)/colitis, Graft vs Host Disease (GvHD), and pulmonary disease, focusing on the utility of clinically relevant endpoints that create highly translational models of human disease.
A Novel Ingestible Biosensor for Intestinal Metabolite Monitoring
De la Paz et al. have developed an ingestible, self-powered, and wireless biosensing capsule that can hopefully be used for the noninvasive diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders in the future. Recently published in Nature Communications, the authors demonstrated how its real-time performance in a porcine model, which we summarize in this post.
