Israeli firm Betalin Therapeutics has an implantable micro-pancreas that can produce insulin in patients with diabetes. Engineered Micro Pancreas The biological scaffolding combined with insulin producing cells is an engineered micro-pancreas. Therefore, implanted into a person during a minimally invasive procedure. Betalin‘s head researcher Avi Treves says the implanted device has the ability to produce insulin in…
Professor of medicine at Columbia University Domenico Accili says he can coax endocrine cells in the gut into insulin-producing cells to reverse diabetes. If the cells in the gut reverse diabetes, it would be a game-changer for the chronic disease. Accili found in the gut, proteins called FOXO which plays a dramatic role in the cells that…
Medical device company Viacyte has developed a device called PEC-Direct that can protect stem cells to be able to live inside the body, produce insulin as needed and possibly cure type 1 diabetes (T1D). Stem cells are placed into PEC-Direct and take three months to become functioning islet cells. Viacyte recently implanted the device into two…
Scientists at SymbioCellTech (SCT) have developed a technology called Neo Islets for possible type 1 diabetes (T1D) cure. It combines Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) with culture-expanded pancreatic islet cells to form three-dimensional cellular clusters. The scientists performed the technique in mice. All treated mice demonstrated normal blood glucose control without the need for anti-rejection drugs or encapsulation devices….
