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, […]
