Article Synopsis
- Clinical islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes is hindered by the lack of pancreas donors and the necessity for lifelong immunosuppression.
- Researchers are exploring a new bioartificial pancreas (iBAP) that utilizes silicon nanopore membranes to potentially replace the need for immunosuppressants while maintaining islet function.
- Their findings indicate that for effective insulin production, specific perifusion rates must be met, with successful insulin secretion responses observed in both lab and live pig models.
