Islet transplantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is hampered by the shortage of donor tissue and the need for life-long immunosuppression. The engineering of materials to limit host immune rejection opens the possibilities of utilising allogeneic and even xenogeneic cells without the need for systemic immunosuppression. Here we discuss the most recent developments in immunoisolation of transplanted cells using advanced polymeric biomaterials, utilising macroscale to nanoscale approaches, to limit aberrant immune responses.
胰岛移植治疗 1 型糖尿病(T1D)受到供体组织短缺和需要终生免疫抑制的限制。材料工程限制宿主免疫排斥反应,为利用同种甚至异种细胞提供了可能性,而无需进行全身免疫抑制。在这里,我们讨论了使用先进的聚合物生物材料进行移植细胞免疫隔离的最新进展,利用从宏观到纳米的方法来限制异常的免疫反应。
