Abstrakt:	Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of two major idiopathic gastrointestinal diseases: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Although a significant advance has been achieved in the treatment of IBD, there remains a particular population of patients that are refractory to the conventional treatments, including the biologic agents. Studies have revealed the importance of "mucosal healing" in improving the prognosis of those difficult-to-treat patients, which indicates the proper and complete regeneration of the damaged intestinal tissue. In this regard, organoid-based regenerative medicine may have the potential to dramatically promote the achievement of mucosal healing in refractory IBD patients, and thereby improve their long-term prognosis as well. So far, studies have shown that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may have some beneficial effect on IBD patients through their transplantation or transfusion. Recent advance in stem cell biology has added intestinal stem cells (ISCs) as a new player in this field. It has been shown that ISCs can be grown in vitro as organoids and that those ex-vivo cultured organoids can be employed as donor cells for transplantation studies. Further studies using mice colitis models have shown that ex-vivo cultured organoids can engraft onto the colitic ulcers and reconstruct the crypt-villus structures. Such transplantation of organoids may not only facilitate the regeneration of the refractory ulcers that may persist in IBD patients but may also reduce the risk of developing colitis-associated cancers. Endoscopy-assisted transplantation of organoids may, therefore, become one of the alternative therapies for refractory IBD patients. (© 2020 The Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine.
