Depending on the concentration of cannabinoids and the activity of two different receptors, the islets became larger or smaller, while the alpha cells, usually located outside the islets, were able to migrate inside,» explains Dr. Katarzyna Malenczyk fom the Nencki Institute, the first author of the publication.

Faustman got her idea by chance while transplanting islets, the pancreatic bodies that contain beta cells, from normal mice into others that had lost theirs to type 1, or juvenile, diabetes.

hASC treatment also mediated a significant preservation of insulin staining and β cell mass, boosted β cell number, and also induced β cell proliferation, while hASC - conditioned medium (hASC - CM) was also able to support mouse islet survival after dissociation in vitro.

Assessment of hASC - CM composition found high expression of various human growth factors (IL ‐ 6, 8, 12, eotaxin, IP10, MCP ‐ 1, VEGF, and TIMP ‐ 1) in the supernatant following the co-culture of hASCs with islet cells, while IP10, eotaxin, VEGF, and TIMP ‐ 1 became increased with time during islet co ‐ culture, suggesting the presence of paracrine cross ‐ talk between islets and hASCs.

When implanted, PEC - 01 cells are expected to differentiate into pancreatic islet cells that produce insulin and other hormones that regulate blood sugar, while the Encaptra device is designed to protect the cells from immune destruction.

* Oddly enough, however, the experiments with fresh pancreatic islets and fat cells taken from the mice suggested that the positive effects of uncarboxylated osteocalcin on insulin only occurred at concentrations extremely low compared to those of undercarboxylated osteocalcin normally present in mice, while the effects on adiponectin and energy expenditure only occurred at normal to high concentrations.

Also, the almost infinitely high omega 6 / omega 3 ratio seen in the first study would cause extreme inflammation that is known to damage islet cells and prevent proper insulin and leptin function while also impairing the metabolism of fatty acids and membrane function.
