First seen Feb 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at why children with short bowel syndrome respond differently to the drug teduglutide. Researchers will grow tiny, lab-made intestines (organoids) from tissue samples taken during routine surgery. They will then treat these mini-intestines with teduglutide in the lab to see how they change. The goal is to find biological clues that could help doctors personalize treatment in the future.
