  • Device for cell implantation
    Publication number: 20030167054
    Abstract: A device for cell implantation has a housing containing a matrix which isolates the cells in the housing; the housing has a window which comprises a membrane which permits passage of nutrients for the cells into the matrix from a location externally of the housing; the housing has an injection port permitting injection of cells into the matrix in the housing. The device may be employed, for example, to facilitate islet implantation in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

  • Ingap protein involved in pancreatic islet neogenesis
    Patent number: 5840531
    Abstract: Cellophane wrapping (CW) of hamster pancreas induces proliferation of duct epithelial cells followed by endocrine cell differentiation and islet neogenesis. Using the mRNA differential display technique a cDNA clone expressed in cellophane wrapped but not in control pancreata was identified. Using this cDNA as a probe, a cDNA library was screened and a gene not previously described was identified and named INGAP.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 24, 1998
    Assignees: MoGill University, Eastern Virginia Medical School of the Medicine College of Hampton Roads
    Inventors: Aaron I. Vinik, Gary L. Pittenger, Ronit Rafaeloff, Lawrence Rosenberg, William P. Duguid
