Combined Optical Coherence and Fluorescence Microscopy to assess dynamics and specificity of pancreatic beta-cell tracers

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Anne Grapin-Botton, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Corinne Berclaz, Antonio Lopez

The identification of a beta-cell tracer is a major quest in diabetes research. However, since MRI, PET and SPECT cannot resolve individual islets, optical techniques are required to assess the specificity of these tracers. We propose to combine Optical Co ...

Survival of Free and Encapsulated Human and Rat Islet Xenografts Transplanted into the Mouse Bone Marrow

Jutta Christine Wandrey, Redouan Mahou, Yannick Müller

Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The aim of the present study was to assess the survival and rejection mechanisms of free and encapsulated xenogeneic islets tra ...

Device design and materials optimization of conformal coating for islets of Langerhans

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Alice Anna Tomei

Encapsulation of islets of Langerhans may represent a way to transplant islets in the absence of immunosuppression. Traditional methods for encapsulation lead to diffusional limitations imposed by the size of the capsules (600-1,000 m in diameter), which r ...

In Vitro Pancreas Organogenesis from Dispersed Mouse Embryonic Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

The pancreas is an essential organ that regulates glucose homeostasis and secretes digestive enzymes. Research on pancreas embryogenesis has led to the development of protocols to produce pancreatic cells from stem cells. The whole embryonic organ can be c ...

Synthesis Of Pyrrolidine 3,4-Diol Derivatives With Anticancer Activity On Pancreatic Tumor Cells

Pierre Vogel, Inmaculada Robina, Frédéric Steimer

Novel pyrrolidine 3,4-diol derivatives of the type (2R and 2S,3R,45){[(( 1R)-1-methoxycarbonyl and hydroxylmethyl)-1-arylmethyl)amino] ethyl}-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol have been prepared and evaluated as a-mannosidase inhibitors and assayed for their anticancer ...

Autonomous and self-sustained circadian oscillators displayed in human islet cells

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Christophe Bauer

Following on from the emerging importance of the pancreas circadian clock on islet function and the development of type 2 diabetes in rodent models, we aimed to examine circadian gene expression in human islets. The oscillator properties were assessed in i ...

Artificial three-dimensional niches deconstruct pancreas development in vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Adrian Ranga, Samy Gobaa, Chiara Greggio

In the context of a cellular therapy for diabetes, methods for pancreatic progenitor expansion and subsequent differentiation into insulin-producing beta cells would be extremely valuable. Here we establish three-dimensional culture conditions in Matrigel ...

Proangiogenic Hydrogels Within Macroporous Scaffolds Enhance Islet Engraftment in an Extrahepatic Site

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino

The transplantation of allogeneic islets in recent clinical trials has shown substantial promise as a therapy for type 1 diabetes; however, long-term insulin independence remains inadequate. This has been largely attributed to the current intravascular, he ...
