Improved methods for pancreatic islet transplantation
(2016) WO2016177859A1- Abstract
- The present invention provides methods that increases the graft survival rate of pancreatic islets after pancreatic islet transplantation, maintains the survival of pancreatic islets ex vivo, and reduce the number of transplanted pancreatic islets required for normalizing blood glucose levels. When performing pancreatic islet transplantation, by pre-incubating pancreatic islets with stem cells or by transplanting pancreatic islets and stem cells in contact with each other, it is possible to significantly improve graft survival rate of transplanted pancreatic islets and reduce the number of transplanted pancreatic islets required for normalizing blood glucose levels. The invention also provides compositions for pancreatic islet... (More)
- The present invention provides methods that increases the graft survival rate of pancreatic islets after pancreatic islet transplantation, maintains the survival of pancreatic islets ex vivo, and reduce the number of transplanted pancreatic islets required for normalizing blood glucose levels. When performing pancreatic islet transplantation, by pre-incubating pancreatic islets with stem cells or by transplanting pancreatic islets and stem cells in contact with each other, it is possible to significantly improve graft survival rate of transplanted pancreatic islets and reduce the number of transplanted pancreatic islets required for normalizing blood glucose levels. The invention also provides compositions for pancreatic islet transplantation comprising the islets and the stem cells or conditioned medium from stem cell culture islets. Thus, the composition and methods are useful for treating diabetes.
