Where this comes from

Abstract

Intestinal organoids offer great promise for modeling intestinal diseases; however, harvesting intestinal tissue is invasive and directed hPSC differentiation protocols are laborious and costly. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Miura and Suzuki (2017) describe the direct conversion of somatic cells from both mice and humans into robust intestinal epithelial tissue.
