Insulin-producing organoids engineered from islet and amniotic epithelial cells to treat diabetes

Islet transplantation is a feasible approach to treat type I diabetes, however inflammation and poor vascularisation impair long-term engraftment. Here the authors show that incorporating human amniotic epithelial cells into islet organoids improves engraftment and function of organoids, through enh...
