        Summary
        This thesis gives a comprehensive review of research currently being carried out using intestinal stem cell derived intestinal organoids as an alternative to organ transplantation. By providing an in depth analysis of current knowledge, experimental methodologies and postulated future work, this body of work illustrates the future use of intestinal organoids to treat chronic diseases of the intestine. Through this treatment approach, patients will be given the hope of living a life independent of medication and artificial (parenteral) feeding.
