Considerations and challenges of islet transplantation and future therapies on the horizon

Sophie Walker et al.

Summary: Islet transplantation is a treatment for severe hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes, but it is not a complete cure. Transplanting more islets and using specific drugs can improve outcomes, but concerns remain regarding the toxicity of immunosuppression. New strategies and therapies, such as using stem cells and regulatory T cells, are being researched to reduce the need for immunosuppression.

The impact of islet mass, number of transplants, and time between transplants on graft function in a national islet transplant program

Shareen Forbes et al.

Summary: The UK islet allotransplant program is nationally funded and provides one or two transplants to individuals with type 1 diabetes. Analysis shows that recipients of two transplants have higher graft survival over the first 12 months compared to recipients of one transplant, but function at 1 and 6 years is comparable. Minimizing the interval between 2 islet infusions may maximize cumulative impact on graft function.

Beta-cell function and human islet transplantation: can we improve?

Jennifer Chen et al.

Summary: Islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes is not as successful as whole-pancreas transplantation. Mouse models are commonly used, but there are disparities between mouse and human islet transplantation outcomes. Understanding factors that impact long-term islet survival and function post-transplantation is crucial due to the shortage of transplant-grade islets.

New Approaches in Oncology for Repositioning Drugs: The Case of PDE5 Inhibitor Sildenafil

Marian Cruz-Burgos et al.

Summary: Repurposing already-approved drugs for new diseases can reduce drug development costs and have therapeutic potential, as seen in the case of sildenafil, originally designed for hypertension and now used for erectile dysfunction.

Gold Standard for Diagnosis of DPN

Yongchun Yu

Summary: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common and insidious complication of diabetes mellitus, often underdiagnosed. Early intervention is crucial for preventing diabetic foot ulceration and amputation. Various screening methods are available for early DPN detection, showing promising research progress and development prospects.
