Summary:
Diabetes Research Institute researchers have created a new cell culture device called the “oxygen sandwich” to provide the cells with a more natural oxygen environment than those used in traditional culture methods. New findings by researchers at the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami could represent a big step forward in possibly alleviating the need for a re-infusion of islet cells after the initial treatment, and this means another donor pancreas is needed to provide the fragile islet cells for transplant.
