Biotech breakthrough in islet cell replacement
Abstract:
Northwestern University has received a major grant from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to advance technologies in the field of islet cell replacement for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
Specifically, the grant will fund efforts to develop nano- and microscale biomaterials capable of creating a microenvironment favorable for islet survival and function via controlled delivery of biological factors that will accelerate engraftment and control the recipient's immune response.
