Using Pig Cells to Cure Type 1 Diabetes Without Immunosuppression
JOIN THE NETWORK: https://www.DiabetesNerdNetwork.com In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, we speak with special guest Michael Revland, who took part in a groundbreaking pig islet cell transplant trial, OPF-310. Conducted at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System in Chicago, the trial tested pig islets transplanted into a protective encapsulation device. These islet cells may offer an unlimited supply of insulin-producing cells. During our chat, we explored Michael’s experiences in the initial months, his participation in the trial, his current insulin needs, and his hopes for the future of people with T1D. Plus, you'll never believe it, but he's NOT on immunosuppressants after participating in this trial! Learn how and why when you watch.
