Allogeneic bone marrow supports human islet β cell survival and function over six months

Abstract: In this study, we have established a new strategy increasing human islet longevity utilizing allogeneic whole bone marrow (BM) co-cultured with human islets. The cultured islets' function and survival have been evaluated by analysis of insulin secretion in response to high-glucose-challenge, morphological evaluation of cell growth. Human islet only culture failed to reveal evidence of long term survival, growth or function in terms of insulin release or insulin response to glucose challenge. These results indi… Show more

“…Human islet tissue from normal donors was obtained through the Islet Resource Centers (ICRs) Basic Science Islet Distribution Program from the Human Islet Laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA, USA), Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA, USA), City of Hope National Medical Center (Duarte, CA, USA), University of Miami, School of Medicine, Diabetes Research Institute (Miami, FL, USA). The use of these cells is approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Roger Williams Hospital and the ICR Committee [9].…”
