Two teams of UCSF scientists have received grants from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to advance their stem cell based strategies for treating diabetes and brain tumors. The intent of the grants is for teams to file new drug applications to the US Food and Drug Administration within four years, driving potential therapies toward clinical trials.

Two review articles examining the best sites for islet cell transplantation, value of porcine islet cells, and engineering of a bioartificial pancreas demonstrate that problems of poor engraftment and immune recognition can be better prevented, making islet transplantation more feasible. Findings suggest the pancreas remains the best site for islet transplantation; porcine islet cells for transplant can be obtained in quantity and easily proliferate; and a newly fabricated prevascularized bioartificial pancreas can increase blood flow.
