Research Objective The expected outcome of these studies is a cellular therapeutic for Type I Diabetes: engineered human islets for transplant into patients, surpassing the function of beta cells or…
Research Objective We propose to develop a macroencapsulation technology, based on flexible nanoporous thin films, to support the long term viability and function of human stem cell derived insulin producing…
Research Objective To correct a gene mutation in a patient's stem cells and produce functional replacement cells for the patient to cure their diabetes. Impact WE expect that this project…
Translational Candidate 'Pseudoislets' derive from human islets, but compared to islets have superior survival, function, and diabetes reversal after transplantation. Area of Impact Pseudoislets could transform islet replacement strategies in…
Translational Candidate Preclinical studies will develop patient specific stem cell-derived islets that secrete insulin & other islet hormones for regulation of blood sugar Area of Impact Genetically matched stem cell…
