New diabetes treatment would turn liver cells into insulin-producers
Tel Aviv-based regenerative medicine firm Orgenesis is developing a treatment that converts the patients own liver cells into cells that produce insulin. The technology aims to address the shortcomings of islet therapy, which requires a suitable donor pancreas and immunosuppressive medications. Orgenesis system involves harvesting cells from the patients liver, converting them into Autologous Insulin Producing (AIP) cells using a master control gene, and reintroducing them into the liver. The advantages of this technology include no shortage of donor material, no need for immunosuppressive drugs, lower cost, and quick insulin production. Human clinical trials may begin later this year.
