Researchers combined electronic sensors with human islet cells to create living ‘cyborg’ organoids transmitting troves of ...

An international team of researchers led by Max Delbrück Center Scientific Director Professor Maike Sander, MD, has for the first time developed an organoid model of human pluripotent stem ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

The immune system of people with Type 1 diabetes targets and destroys the pancreatic cells that produce insulin, which is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Transplanting pancreatic islet cells in ...

ORLANDO, Fla — Stem cell–derived beta-cell replacement therapy continues to show benefit in people with type 1 diabetes at a high risk for severe hypoglycemia. Of a total 17 patients who received a ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a thermoresponsive antioxidant biomaterial that they suggest may in the future be used to help improve the survival and function of islet cells in ...

Researchers have devised the right conditions to grow vascularized stem cell islets. The image shows vasculature (red) tightly wrapped around insulin-producing cells (green) in the islets (blue).

These factors prompted research into better and more permanent treatments for T1D. The most obvious solution: restore the natural repertoire of β cell islets. Although most recipients experienced ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas. Without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant islets ...

Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance, published in ...
