Development of a pancreatic substitute based on genetically engineered intestinal endocrine cells

Cell-based insulin therapies can potentially improve glycemic regulation in insulin dependent diabetes patients and thus help reduce secondary complications. The long-term goal of our work is to engineer autologous insulin-secreting intestinal endocrine cells as a non-beta cell approach to alleviate...
