Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates isolating and assessing the viability of human fetal pancreatic islets from 22-29 weeks gestation to understand their developmental process, which could enhance diabetes research and treatment options.
- - Through collagenase digestion and in vitro culture, the researchers found that these fetal islets can maintain their structure and function, showing insulin release in response to glucose, indicating their viability.
- - The results suggest that these human fetal islets could provide valuable insights into their maturity and functionality, despite ethical concerns and limited previous knowledge regarding their use in islet transplantation for diabetes.
To optimize growth in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, human milk fortification is standard of care in neonatal units of high-income countries. However, commercial fortifiers may not be available or it may be too expensive in resource-limited settings. As an alternative to using human milk fortifiers, we studied the effects of milk fortification with an infant formula on growth and biochemical parameters of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants We undertook a prospective, randomized controlled trial in the neonatal unit of a tertiary care hospital in South India.
