A bioartificial pancreas to treat type 1 diabetes: optimization of cell survival and function in preclinical and clinical phases (BIOSID)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
MAILPAN (MAcroencapsulation of PANcreatic Islets) is a prototype of bioartificial pancreas usable in the human designed to treat type 1 diabetic patients. The prototype was developed along different stages since 1996 and led to the creation of the SME called Defymed in 2011. Next step is now to bring the prototype to the pre-clinical and clinical phases necessary to the ensuing commercialization o ...

Improving beta-cell function and identification of diagnostic biomarkers for treatment monitoring in diabetes (IMIDIA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
An absolute or relative loss of beta-cell mass and function underlie the development of type I and type 2 diabetes.Preventing beta-cell demise or restoring their number and function is a major therapeutic goal. However,development of novel diagnostic and prognostic tools, and of novel therapeutic modalities, is hampered by the limited knowledge of the molecular pathways that control beta-cell demi ...

Beta Cell Therapy in Diabetes (BETACELLTHERAPY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Type 1 diabetes is a serious chronic disease with major health risks and heavy burden on patients and society. It is caused by massive immune-mediated loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas that can so far not be locally corrected. A cellular allotransplant in the liver can install a new beta cell mass but the size is insufficient and the procedure faces limitations of donor shortage ...
