Startup grows mini human intestines to replace animal drug testing

Original: Intero Biosystems wants drugmakers to test on mini human intestines, not animals Intero Biosystems is selling lab-grown

Intero Biosystems is selling lab-grown human intestinal organoids to pharmaceutical companies as an alternative to animal testing. The Chicago-area startup says its mini intestines can better predict how drugs behave in humans, as regulators increasingly push for non-animal testing methods. The company is now working to scale production and expand its organoid technology.

Why now: Regulatory pressure to replace animal testing is creating commercial interest in organoid alternatives.
