Study of multivariable that influence on the intestinal tissue regeneration and homeostasis. Experimental design and data analysis was required. Development of intestinal tissue in-vitro and the application to intestinal organ transplant alternatives. Development of intestinal niche model. Study the neointestinal engineering from intestinal epithelial organoid units (IEOU) as a potential alternative therapy to solve the problems of acute organ shortage and rejection in short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients. Studies of the correlation of allograft survival and chimeric state after bone marrow infusion was study. Citrulline, an amino acid exclusively synthesized by intestinal epithelial cells, was analyzed in a primary culture. The observation of citrulline levels led to the discovery of three distinct periods of citrulline in culture system. A strong correlation between citrulline and intestinal damage or organ rejection was demonstrated. Citrulline as an indicator of healthy intestine was study. Some studies include the implantation of in-vitro neointestinal tissue (organoids) into syngeneic rats. The result of development of clusters of neointestinal epithelial cyst with a lumen and capable of produce the morphology of intestinal tissue. Some other studies include the resistance of neuronal nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice to methamphetamine-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity.
