[From human pluripotent stem cells to custom-made intestinal organoids].

The study of gut diseases is often limited by the access to human biological tissues and animal models that do not faithfully mimic the human pathologies. In this context, the development of intestinal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells is paving the way of gastrointestinal physiology and digestive disease study. In this review, we recall the embryonic development of the digestive tract and its translation to human pluripotent stem cell differentiation. We also present the different types of intestinal organoids that can be generated, as well as their applications in research.
