Abstract

Recent advances of cell transplantation and tissue engineering are remarkable. And also the diabetic treatment using pancreatic beta cells have performed great advances. Even clinical islet transplantation has been considered a common curative treatment for diabetes mellitus in the place of an experimental treatment. Still more the lack of donor's organ as a worst problem of transplantation will be overcome by using the beta cells produced in vitro culture. Therefore diabetes mellitus will be closed to cure in the near future.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
