"Long-term glycemic control using polymer-encapsulated human stem cell-derived beta cells in immune-competent mice."

PMID 26808346 | Nat Med.

Implanted in the intraperitoneal space of mice treated to chemically induce type 1 diabetes. Implants induced glycemic correction without any immunosuppression until their removal at 174 d after implantation. Human C-peptide concentrations and in vivo glucose responsiveness demonstrated therapeutically relevant glycemic control and retrieved implants contained viable insulin-producing cells.
