In this review, we will summarize the recent progress made in generating stem cells-based organoid and enteroid models of the gastrointestinal tract and their importance in understanding the role of microbes in intestinal epithelial homeostasis and disease. Intestinal stem-cell derived culture systems are self-organizing three-dimensional organotypic cultures that recapitulate many cellular, architectural and functional aspects of the human intestine. Progress has been made in the development of methods to incorporate additional cell lineages and physiological cues to better mimic the complexity of the intestine. Current model systems have facilitated both the study of gastrointestinal infections and interactions with normally non-pathogenic microbial residents of the GI tract. These studies have illustrated how live microbes, or their metabolites, ligands and virulence factors influence epithelial cell differentiation, maintenance, repair, function and intestine development. Organotypic models are invaluable tools for studying host-microbe interactions that complement in vivo experimental model systems. These models have evolved in terms of complexity and fidelity. The stem-cell based models are already at forefront for studying host-microbe interactions and with continued development, the future looks even more promising.
