ESOT Congress 2025: Scientists Create Functional Human Islets in 3D Printing Breakthrough for Type 1 Diabetes Treatment
- During the ESOT Congress on 30 June 2025 in London, the team successfully 3D printed functional human islets using a novel bioink, marking a key breakthrough.
- Limitations of traditional transplants, such as cell loss and immune destruction in the liver, prompted development of bioprinted islets using a bioink to improve survival.
- Lab tests show the bioprinted islets had over 90% cell survival and released more insulin under glucose stimulation than comparators.
- Following this breakthrough, the team is testing bioprinted islets in animal models and exploring cryopreservation to enhance therapy accessibility.
- In the long run, successful trials could enable off-the-shelf diabetes treatments, transforming millions' lives and eliminating the need for insulin injections.
