MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The World TransplantCongress 2006 (WTC) is the first international joint transplant conference,focusing on the most timely and important topics in the field oftransplantation medicine. Over the past six years, physicians, surgeons,scientists, nurses, organ procurement personnel and pharmacists in thefield of basic and clinical transplantation have gathered in masses toattend the American Transplant Congress (ATC) in various cities across theUnited States. This year, the ATC and The International Congress of TheTransplantation Society are replaced by the WTC 2006.

Cells from baby pigs to treat diabetes

TRANSPLANTS of piglet cells could be used to treat diabetes patients within three years after successful experiments in monkeys, scientists said.
Two new studies have shown that insulin-producing islet cells from the pancreases of newborn pigs can reverse type 1 diabetes in primates. The findings, from teams in Canada and the US, pave the way for human clinical trials.

A team of researchers from the University of Alberta, the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University and the Emory Transplant Center has successfully transplanted insulin-producing neonatal porcine islet cells into monkeys, a procedure the researchers say represents a promising intermediate solution to the critical supply problem in clinical islet cell transplantation.

"Our work at the U of A and Emory, along with recent work at the University of Minnesota, is very exciting and shows that xenotransplantation in humans may soon be possible, thus solving the islet supply problem," says one of the study authors Ray Rajotte, a professor of Surgery at the University of Alberta.

Published: Sunday, 19-Feb-2006

Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Diabetes Institute for Immunology and Transplantation have successfully reversed diabetes in monkeys using transplanted islet cells from pigs.

"These results suggest it is feasible to use pig islet cells as a path to a far-reaching cure for diabetes," said Bernhard J. Hering, M.D., associate professor of surgery and lead investigator. "Now that we have identified critical pathways involved in immune recognition and rejection of pig islet transplants, we can begin working on better and safer immunosuppressant therapies with the eventual goal of bringing the treatment to people."

Week 1 / 2006: Xenotransplantation still out of reach

2006-01-02T20:57:00.000-08:00

http://www.helsinki.fi/research/news/2006/week1.htm
Future donors can be pigs or apes, but the need for transplantation keeps growing. In 2004, a record number of 276 transplantations were performed in Finland. There are 300 patients alone waiting for a new kidney.
Every year some 20 to 30 people die waiting for a transplant. Instead of animal organs, we really need to find other ways to solve the problem.
“My solution would be to increase the use of transplants from brain dead people," Höckerstedt says.
