| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have shown that the ex vivo cultures of both duct and stellate cells proliferate together, and upon differentiation as a tissue complex with vascular endothelial cells, they generate spherical tissues containing pancreatic endocrine cells with a potential to cure diabetes.
In this study, we tried that we would develop the next-generation islet transplantation that would solve the current problems of donor tissue shortage and immune rejections for the treatment of Type-1 diabetes. First of all, we established the microencapsulation method of the endothelial, epithelial and pancreatic progenitor cells. We could culture these endoderm cells as forms of spheroid in the capsules, and found C-X-C chemokine receptor-4 positive cells there. We established the regenerative method to expand higher purity of pancreatic progenitor cells from the encapsulated pancreatic stem cell niche.
