Islet Transplantation in Type I Diabetes Mellitus
For most patients with type I diabetes, insulin therapy and glucose monitoring are sufficient to maintain glycemic control. However, hypoglycemia is a potentially lethal side effect of insulin treatment in patients who are glycemically labile or have hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure [1]. For those patients, an alternative therapy is beta cell replacement via pancreas or islet transplan...

متن کاملComparison of bioartificial and artificial pancreatic transplantation as promising therapies for Type I Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic life-threatening condition whose incidence in the UK has doubled every 20 years since 1945 (Diabetes UK, 2010). Whilst intensive insulin therapy has been shown to reduce the incidence of long-term vascular complications in T1DM patients, it has also been shown to increase the risk of severe hypoglycaemia by 3-fold. Clinical islet transplantation has ...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapies for Type I Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that results in high levels of glucose in the blood. Normally, glucose is transported into cells from the blood for energy, and this transport is initiated in response to the hormone, insulin. In diabetic patients, cellular glucose uptake is defective, in part due to the inability of cells to respond to insulin, or the inability of the body to pr...
متن کاملBeta-cell replacement for type I diabetes.
The ability to achieve insulin independence with either solid-organ pancreas or islet transplantation has increased the number of patients seeking beta-cell replacement as an alternative to insulin therapy. Despite dramatic improvements in the ability to achieve insulin independence following solid-organ pancreas transplantation, the secondary complications of long-standing diabetes are frequen...
