Microfluidics for monitoring and imaging pancreatic islet and β -cells for human transplant

Chronic disorders such as diabetes mellitus are associated with multiple organ dysfunction, including retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and vascular disease. Lifelong subcutaneous insulin injections are currently the only treatment option for patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, and it poses numerous challenges. Since the breakthrough achieved from the Edmonton protocol in the year 2000, there has been important research to investigate whether islet cell transplantation can achieve long-term normoglycemia in patients without the need for insulin. The use of biopolymeric scaffold to enclose islet cells has also been explored to improve survivability and viability of islet cells. This review paper summarizes the latest research in using biopolymeric scaffolds in islet transplantation and how microfluidic devices can assist.
