Did you know that primary #pancreatic islets have a short culture life of approximately 1–2 weeks? 🧐
@KingsCollegeLon authors design a protocol that employs reformed islets following dispersion coupled with a fine-tuned culture environment.

We're hearing from Prof Shanta Persaud and Prof Aileen King about their #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge project, joined by Sarah, the PPI representative.
Their research aims to make better performing beta cells that are well equipped to survive transplantation 💪

📢We are incredibly grateful to receive funding from @JDRF to explore if modulating islet-resident immune cells can delay or prevent #type1diabetes.
Excited to continue collaborating with @JAPearsonLab @cardiffuni.
Thank you @jdrf @JDRFUK!
