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.
The functional impairment and death of
pancreatic islets by IBMIR is usually ascribed to multiple pathological effects.
Intrahepatic transplantation of
pancreatic islets (PIs) represents an alternative treatment for unstable type 1 diabetic patients [1], but the procedure is associated with partial damage of liver tissue [2,3] and graft impairment due to blood-mediated inflammation, rejection, or hypoxia [4].
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].
