🔬 Research Spotlight
Our research team is co-culturing beta cells (green) with supporter MSCs (red). Beta cells migrate into islet-like structures, while MSCs may leave behind scaffolds for survival.

🚀 Stay tuned for more updates - we’re just getting started!

Publication alert 🎉

Turns out sex does matter, at least when it comes to porcine islet transplantation. Female mice outperformed males in glucose control, proving once again that ignoring sex in science is just bad policy.
