Medical Affairs team kicks off international islet cell therapy workshops at Breakthrough T1D HQ
Breakthrough T1D's Medical Affairs team hosted experts in islet transplantation to discuss a clinical roadmap for manufactured cell therapies.
Cell therapies in clinical trials: Moving the needle forward
Breakthrough T1D believes that novel cell therapies in the clinical pipeline will transform T1D management, and Project ACT is how we’re going to make them a reality.
Challenges and solutions: The present and future of cell therapies for T1D
Breakthrough T1D is funding research that supports manufactured islet cell source, survival, and protection and is also driving initiatives to unlock access to manufactured islet therapies for people with T1D.
Medical Affairs: Closing the gap between access and adoption
Breakthrough T1D's new Medical Affairs unit will address the numerous challenges contributing to the slow adoption of groundbreaking T1D therapies.
Cell therapies 101: What are stem cells and why do they matter?
Researchers are harnessing the power of stem cells to generate functional beta cells and islets, driving us closer toward type 1 diabetes cures.
Cell therapy first: transplanted islets working without immunosuppressives
The recipient of gene-edited islets to evade the immune system is making insulin without the use of immunusuppresives.
2024 greatest T1D hits: A glance at this year’s achievements
While we look back on 2024, we can reflect upon the incredible progress we’ve made in advancing breakthroughs toward cures and improving everyday life with T1D. This wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you and your continued support of our mission as we drive toward cures for T1D. Here are the […]
Vertex launches pivotal trial for stem-cell derived islet therapy
Vertex announced the first stem cell-derived islet therapy is entering a phase 3 clinical trial for type 1 diabetes.
Novel way to protect transplanted cells shows promise
A novel immune therapy called tegoprubart made by Eledon Pharmaceuticals and being tested in kidney transplant patients has the potential to help beta cell transplants survive in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) with fewer side effects. The first data from this Breakthrough T1D-funded study suggests it does. The study was presented at the 5th […]
Stem Cell-Derived Islets Show Promise In Another Study
A new study published in Cell and summarized in Nature has shown positive results using stem cell-derived islets to restore insulin production in a patient with type 1 diabetes (T1D). These results add to the mounting evidence that stem cell-derived islets can provide benefits to people with T1D. The study, conducted by investigators in Beijing, […]
