Abstract
Intestinal fibrosis is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with > 20% of Crohn’s disease patients developing this complication within 10 years of diagnosis. Despite improvements in anti-inflammatory medication, its incidence remains stubbornly high and thus far surgical intervention remains the only treatment option. Numerous cell types including intestinal epithelial and mesenchymal cells are implicated in this process, yet studies are hampered by the lack of personalized in vitro models.
