Prospective and challenges of islet transplantation for the therapy of autoimmune diabetes

Abstract

Pancreatic islet cell transplantation is an attractive treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The success enhanced by the Edmonton protocol has fostered phenomenal progress in the field of clinical islet transplantation in the past 5 years, with 1-year rates of insulin independence after transplantation near 80%. Long-term function of the transplanted islets, however, even under the Edmonton protocol, seems difficult to accomplish, with only 10% of patients maintaining insulin independence 5 years after transplantation. These results differ from the higher metabolic performance achieved by whole pancreas allotransplantation, and autologous islet cell transplantation, and form the basis for a limited applicability of islet allografts to selected adult patients. Candidate problems in islet allotransplantation deal with alloimmunity, autoimmunity, and the need for larger islet cell masses. Employment of animal islets and stem cells, as alternative sources of insulin production, will be considered to face the problem of human tissue shortage. Emerging evidence of the ability to reestablish endogenous insulin production in the pancreas even after the diabetic damage occurs envisions the exogenous supplementation of islets to patients a...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

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.
