Cell-replacement therapy for diabetes: Generating functional insulin-producing tissue from adult human liver cells
Tamar Sapir,Keren Shternhall,Irit Meivar-Levy,Tamar Blumenfeld,Hamutal Cohen,Ehud Skutelsky,Smadar Eventov-Friedman,Iris Barshack,Iris Goldberg,Sarah Pri-Chen,Lya Ben-Dor,Sylvie Polak-Charcon,Avraham Karasik,Ilan Shimon,Eytan Mor,Sarah Ferber +15 more
TL;DR: Inducing developmental redirection of adult liver offers the potential of a cell-replacement therapy for diabetics by allowing the patient to be the donor of his own insulin-producing tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of Nontubular Sca-1+Lin− Multipotent Stem/Progenitor Cells from Adult Mouse Kidney
Benjamin Dekel,Lior Zangi,Elias Shezen,Shlomit Reich-Zeliger,Smadar Eventov-Friedman,Helena Katchman,J. Jacob-Hirsch,Ninette Amariglio,Gideon Rechavi,Raanan Margalit,Yair Reisner +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and characterize multipotent organ stem/progenitor cells in the adult kidney, which have potential as stem cells and may contribute to the regeneration of injured kidneys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic pig pancreatic tissue transplantation for the treatment of diabetes.
Smadar Eventov-Friedman,Dalit Tchorsh,Helena Katchman,Elias Shezen,Anna Aronovich,Gil Hecht,Benjamin Dekel,Gideon Rechavi,Bruce R. Blazar,Ilan Feine,Orna Tal,Enrique Freud,Yair Reisner +12 more
TL;DR: Implantation of embryonic pig pancreatic tissues of different gestational ages in SCID mice reveals that embryonic day 42 (E42) pig pancreas can enable a massive growth of pig islets for prolonged periods and restore normoglycemia in diabetic mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic pig pancreatic tissue for the treatment of diabetes in a nonhuman primate model
Gil Hecht,Smadar Eventov-Friedman,Chava Rosen,Elias Shezen,Dalit Tchorsh,Anna Aronovich,Enrique Freud,Hana Golan,Ronit Elhasid,Helena Katchman,Bernhard J. Hering,Amnon Zung,Zipi Kra-Oz,Pninit Shaked-Mishan,Alex Yusim,Alex Shtabsky,Pavel Idelevitch,Ana Tobar,Alon Harmelin,Esther Bachar-Lustig,Yair Reisner +20 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that porcine E-42 embryonic pancreatic tissue can normalize blood glucose levels in primates, and strongly suggest that this approach could offer an attractive replacement therapy for diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transplantation of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells into Ischemic and Growing Kidneys Suggests a Role in Vasculogenesis but Not Tubulogenesis
Benjamin Dekel,Elias Shezen,Smadar Eventov-Friedman,Helena Katchman,Raanan Margalit,Arnon Nagler,Yair Reisner +6 more
TL;DR: This first demonstration of human CD34+stem cell transplantation into injured and developing kidneys indicates that these cells do not readily acquire a tubular phenotype and are restricted mainly to hematopoietic and, to a lesser extent, to endothelial lineages.
