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….
Type 1 diabetes cure close to reality after scientists discovered a way to protect the new insulin-secreting cells from the body’s own immune system attacks. Back in 2014 Professor Doug Melton and scientists from Harvard Stem Cell Institute found a way to produce huge quantities of pancreatic beta cells. The insulin-secreting cells can be used…
Previously Published on HealthCentral – IF YOU’VE JUST been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, or you’ve been living with it for a while, your doctor has likely given you a prescription for insulin—and you’re likely a little less than thrilled at the prospect of being on this medication for the rest of your life. But what…
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…
The Bionic Pancreas called “iLet” by Beta Bionics. The only fully integrated, fully automated, bihormonal bionic pancreas. The device uses both, insulin to lower blood sugar and glucagon to raise blood sugar for optimal glycemic control, a bridge to a cure. As I write this, the pump device is not yet available to the public. A…
We’d like to wish the late Frederick Banting a happy 125th birthday. Sir Frederick Banting discovered insulin back in 1921. Read his bio here.
