Descripción del proyecto
Prevalence of diabetes is increasing among all ages in the European Region, mostly due to increases in overweight and
obesity, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. Today there are about 60 M people with diabetes in the EU, of which Type 1
Diabetes (T1D) accounts for between 5% and 10%. T1D patients must cope with a lifetime of intensive self-care (testing
their blood sugar levels several times a day to inject insulin when required) and the risk of premature death. Even with
careful management T1D patients can still have difficulties keeping a steady blood glucose level and over time these lifethreatening
fluctuations, especially the chronic high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), can cause serious complications
including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and amputations due to nerve damage. Currently there is no cure for T1D
and no new significant development or permanent therapy for diabetes has emerged in the last 70 years. Islet
transplantation while effective is not a scalable therapy and limited to only the most severe T1D patients due to the shortage
of cadaveric donor islets. Recent advances in generating insulin producing beta cells from pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs),
positions stem cell-based therapy as a promising treatment for a wider population of T1D patients. A stem cell based therapy
would replace the damaged beta cells in the patients and allow for a natural production and secretion of insulin to regulate
the blood glucose levels. To make stem cell therapy a clinically and commercially viable treatment in diabetes, the following
technical hurdles need to be addressed: safety (lack of purity), cost-effective scalability, and lack of immune protection of the
implanted cells. Pancryos patented technology, in contrast to other available competing technologies, enables both
purification and automation ensuring unparalleled safety and cost-efficient scalability and manufacturability of the final cell
product PanINSULA.
