Islet Transplantation with Blood Vessel Cells Shows Promise to Treat Type 1 Diabetes Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin ...

The pancreatic islet is the only human tissue that produces insulin in response to rising blood glucose levels. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and slowly destroys these islets ...

A substantial majority of diabetic mice transplanted with islets-plus-R-VECs regained normal body weight and showed normal blood glucose control even after 20 weeks—a period that for this mouse ...

Researchers have developed a method using engineered blood vessel cells (R-VECs) to improve islet transplantation which could offer a safer and more effective treatment for type 1 diabetes. In a study ...
