This project focuses on enhancing the function of pig islets for diabetes treatment by creating genetically modified pigs that express GLP-1, a hormone that promotes insulin production and protects islet cells. The aim is to develop a reliable source of insulin-producing cells for transplantation without immunosuppress…
During the last five years, within the EU FP6 Integrated Project XENOME (LSHB-CT-2006-037377), we have convincingly demonstrated in primates that a complete control of induced type 1 diabetes is routinely obtained for 6/8 months after transplantation of subcutaneous alginate macroencapsulated porcine islets xenograft without the use of any immunosuppression.
In order to improve the function of pig islets, we have produced with AVANTEA a transgenic pig expressing GLP-1 at the level of the pig isl…
