Histology Demonstrates PATCH Action in the Mouse Mucosa

Caption

These images show histological cross sections of colon from mice used as a disease model for colitis. The colons of injured mice (middle) lose the characteristic columnar cell structure of the healthy gut (left). When treated with PATCH, the mouse colons were able to maintain a healthy morphology even in the presence of inflammatory insults.
