Inflammatory reactions of the intestinal tract are the result of a combination of hereditary, genetic and/or environmental factors that have been clustered in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). ReadyCell has available CacoReady and CacoGoblet to assay compounds inflammatory properties.
An investigation led by the researcher Nicoló Milani was published in the prestigious analytical journal Lab on a Chip. The CacoGoblet kit was employed to investigate the permeability and the metabolism of the compound in a gut-liver-organ-on-a-chip (OoC).
The publication, entitled Daily Intraperitoneal Administration of RGZ Does Not Improve Lung Function or Alveolarization in Preterm Rabbits Exposed to Hyperoxia, was aimed at testing the efficacy of three types of Thiazolidenoides (TZN) in preterm rabbits with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
It is well known that food intake changes luminal conditions in the stomach and the small intestine, modifying drugs bioavailability. Food-drug interactions are one of the major challenges for oral-administered drugs, even more so if considering the growing use of food supplements and functional foods.
Cell-based in vitro models are suitable to evaluate human phisiology optimizing research. This review introduce reference models to evaluate gastrointestinal metabolism.
