Read moreThe first induced colonic hyperplasia model in rats for endoscopic applications
- Aug, 27, 2020
This research, in the framework of the Piccolo project, has successfully developed a preclinical model of Colonic Hyperplasia in the species “Rattus Norvegicus” that recreates important characteristics of human hyperplasia such as the generation of new cells in the colonic mucosa and tissue growth, as well as the corresponding angiogenesis. The creation of these growths […]
