SERAXIS' leading technology includes GMP-grade, pure
pancreatic islets that contain 60-90% of insulin-secreting beta cells.
Insulin dependent diabetes is a multifactorial disorder that could be theoretically cured by functional
pancreatic islets and autologous insulin producing cells, or AIP cells, implantation.
The alcoholism has a major effect on
pancreatic islets cells and their insulin secretion.
[USA] Aug 31(ANI): Insulin, a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the
pancreatic islets, boosts immune health, according to a new study.
The Seraxis investigators further showed that the islet clusters functioned like mature
pancreatic islets, secreting insulin shortly after transplantation in response to fluctuations in glucose in a rodent model of diabetes.
Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers tissue-engineered human
pancreatic islets in a laboratory that develop a circulatory system, secrete hormones like insulin and successfully treat sudden-onset type 1 diabetes in transplanted mice.
Replacement strategies include the transplantation of whole human/porcine
pancreatic islets, beta cell pseudoislets, or the application of islet progenitors derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) [4, 5].
