To prevent islet rejection, immune-suppressing drugs are given over the long term. The researchers wanted to develop a less invasive technique that allowed donor islets to be implanted in a site that ...

Wenzhou Medical University researchers have reimagined the spleen as a viable site for islet transplantation, enabling long-term diabetes control without the burden of full immunosuppression.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by pancreatic malfunctional and poor production of insulin. Imagine your pancreas is a factory for insulin, a key hormone that keeps your ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress ...

Researchers have devised the right conditions to grow vascularized stem cell islets. The image shows vasculature (red) tightly wrapped around insulin-producing cells (green) in the islets (blue).

Oral presentations were held at the congresses of the ADA1, EASD2 and IPITA-IXA-CTRMS3 Evidence support that AdoShell® Islets is a scalable biocompatible immunoprotective biomaterial for islet ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas. Without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant islets ...

Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance, published in ...
