World-first Living Donor Islet Cell Transplant A Success; Procedure Offers Promise For Diabetics

A University of Alberta and Capital Health surgeon, well known for his pioneering work in developing the Edmonton Protocol treatment for diabetes, has taken another important step in the fight against diabetes. On January 19, at Kyoto University Hospital, Dr. Koichi Tanaka and Dr. James Shapiro, along with a team of Japanese surgeons, removed part of a 56-year-old woman's pancreas. Dr. Sh...

First North American Encapsulated Islet Transplant without Long-term Immune Suppression into a Patient with Type 1 Diabetes

Biologists at the University of Liverpool have discovered how the plagues of the Middle Ages have made around 10% of Europeans resistant to HIV. Scientists have known for some time that these individuals carry a genetic mutation (known as CCR5-delta32) that prevents the virus from entering the cells of the immune system but have been unable to account for the high levels of the gene in Scandinavi...

Single-donor Islet Transplantation Procedure Shows Promise For Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

Patients with type 1 diabetes who received islet transplantation from a single donor pancreas were insulin independent one year later, according to a study in the February 16 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on medical applications of biotechnology. Type 1 diabetes remains a therapeutic challenge, according to background information in the article. The success rate of islet (cells that produc...

Diabetes researchers pioneer islet cell xenotransplantation in primate studies

A team of researchers from the University of Alberta, the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University and the Emory Transplant Center has successfully transplanted insulin-producing neonatal porcine islet cells into monkeys, a procedure the researchers say represents a promising intermediate solution to the critical supply problem in clinical islet cell transplantation. "Ou...

Infused spleen cells found not to impact islet recovery and reversal of type 1 diabetes in mice

Researchers at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins have invented a cost-effective and highly efficient way of analyzing what many have termed "junk" DNA and identified regions critical for controlling gene function. And they have found that these control regions from different species don't have to look alike to work alike. The study will be published online...

Islets May Lead to Diabetes Cure

Researchers take a step forward in their search for a cure for diabetes. A new study done in mice shows cells from the spleen appear to develop into insulin //producing pancreatic islet cells. This could lead to a broad application for patients with diabetes.The latest research is a follow up to the 2001 report of a treatment that cures advanced type 1 diabetes in mice. The new research focus...

Diabetes cure can be achieved using pig islets

Bernhard J. Hering, M.D., associate professor of surgery and researchers at the University of Minnesota's Diabetes Institute for Immunology and Transplantation has successfully reversed diabetes in monkeys using transplanted islet cells from pigs. // Suppression of graft rejection was possible with the use of novel immunosuppressive protocol. They have reversed the type 1 diabetes in h...

Islet cells producing insulin cultivated in the lab

Now there is an answer, not to far, to the complexities of Type I diabetics and insulin injections.This is according to researchers at the University of Calgary whose bioengineering team announced //that they have developed a way of growing pancreatic cells in their laboratory. In the words of Dr. Leo Behie, “This is a significant milestone on the path to effectively producing huma...

MRI Can Monitor Transplanted Islets

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be a safe way to monitor the fate of transplanted pancreatic islets, says a new study in the September issue of the journal Diabetes. // Researchers from the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) said that they were able to track transplanted islets in mice using the guidelines laid down for human transplants. <br...
