Pancreatic Beta Cell Replacement (β-cell Replacement)

Target: β-cell Replacement
Molecular classification: Cell Therapy, Tissue Engineering, Transplantation

Overview

Pancreatic beta cell replacement encompasses various therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring or replacing insulin-producing beta cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. These strategies include islet transplantation, whole pancreas transplantation, stem cell-derived beta cell therapy, xenotransplantation, and beta cell regeneration/neogenesis. The goal is to achieve insulin independence and restore normal glycemic control. Challenges include donor scarcity, immune rejection, and the need for long-term graft survival.
