Abstract
Transplantation of human embryonic stem cell (ESC) derived beta-like cells and xenotransplantation of porcine islets are two potential cures for type 1 diabetes (T1D). We have previously reported the isolation of porcine ESCs and have also separately shown that islets from genetically modified pigs can effectively cure diabetes in a preclinical baboon model. Here we discuss the possibility of combining these technologies to produce gene-edited porcine ESC-derived islets as an alternative for treating T1D, which may offer several advantages compared with these approaches.
期刊介绍：
Xenotransplantation provides its readership with rapid communication of new findings in the field of organ and tissue transplantation across species barriers.The journal is not only of interest to those whose primary area is xenotransplantation, but also to veterinarians, microbiologists and geneticists. It also investigates and reports on the controversial theological, ethical, legal and psychological implications of xenotransplantation.
