Core Tip	Experimental animal models of colitis are important for investigating the physiopathological mechanisms underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans. Murine dextran sulfate sodium colitis models have been widely adopted and validated as relevant models for the translation of mice data to human IBD. Nevertheless, it is clear that models characterized by mild intestinal damages are more accurate for studying the effects of therapeutic agents. In this study, we developed a reproducible mild chronic colitis model, which allows the evaluation of the intestinal repair processes, the modulation of systemic inflammation and the recovery of the gut microbiotic homeostasis.
