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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Coated medical device and method of coating a medical device to reduce, fibrosis and capsule formation

Hicham Majd, Boris Hinz, Giorgio Pietramaggiori

Coating for a medical device comprising cell-adhesive proteins having the ability to reduce fibrous reaction, said coating being in the form of separate islets having an individual area which is less than 12 [mu]m2 and wherein the distance between the isle ...

Towards high resolution optical imaging of beta cells in vivo

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Joan Goulley, Erica Martin-Williams

Endocrine beta cells produce and release insulin in order to tightly regulate glucose homeostasis and prevent metabolic pathologies such as Diabetes Mellitus. Optical imaging has contributed greatly to our current understanding of beta cell structure and f ...

Beta amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau deposits in the pancreas in type 2 diabetes

László Forró, Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis

Strong epidemiologic evidence suggests an association between Alzheimer disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes. To determine if amyloid beta (A
