Cell Pouch islet transplant
A durable, retrievable implant site is a key piece of the cell-therapy puzzle, and is being combined with newer approaches to reduce or remove immunosuppression.
How it works
An implanted 'Cell Pouch' is allowed to grow its own blood supply, then donor islet cells are placed inside it to produce insulin in a protected, vascularized site.
