Stem Cell Therapy and Pancreatic Islet Regeneration for Diabetes
Advancing Diabetes Cure through Stem Cell Innovation
About This Course
This 3-day online workshop explores regenerative biotechnology for diabetes, focusing on stem cell therapy and pancreatic islet regeneration to restore insulin-producing beta cells. Tailored for faculty, researchers, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and undergraduate/postgraduate students, the program utilizes web-based demonstrations, virtual laboratory resources, stem cell databases, and scientific visualization tools. No programming or laboratory experience is required.
Aim
This workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of stem cell-based therapies, pancreatic islet regeneration, and regenerative biotechnology for diabetes treatment. Through expert-led sessions and browser-based hands-on activities, participants will explore the latest breakthroughs in stem cell biology, pancreatic tissue engineering, and clinical translation without requiring laboratory access or programming skills.
Workshop Objectives
- Introduce stem cell technologies for diabetes therapy.
- Explain pancreatic islet biology and regeneration.
- Demonstrate tissue engineering approaches for diabetes.
- Explore clinical translation of stem cell therapies.
- Introduce gene editing and organoid technologies.
- Provide practical exposure through online demonstrations and scientific resources.
Workshop Structure
📅 Day 1: Stem Cells and the Future of Diabetes Therapy
Core Topics: Diabetes treatment limitations, stem cell biology (ESCs/iPSCs/adult stem cells), beta-cell biology, differentiation pathways, islet architecture, and clinical trials (e.g., VX-880).
Hands-on Session: Explore pancreatic anatomy, cellular islet architecture, and cell lineage tracking using the Human Cell Atlas and CELLxGENE Explorer. Then map stem cell differentiation pathways to insulin-producing cells using the EMBL-EBI Cell Type Ontology Browser.
📅 Day 2: Islet Bioengineering & Regenerative Medicine
Core Topics: Islet isolation and transplantation, biomaterials for encapsulation, overcoming immune rejection with hypoimmune stem cells, hydrogel delivery, and artificial pancreas systems.
Hands-on Session: Investigate global stem cell clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, match patient enrollment eligibility and cell therapy approaches, and model therapeutic translation workflows from bench to bedside using PubMed and ISSCR guidelines.
📅 Day 3: Future Technologies in Diabetes Regeneration
Core Topics: CRISPR-based beta-cell engineering, pancreatic organoids, 3D tissue bioprinting, precision regenerative medicine, and regulatory translational frameworks.
Hands-on Session: Design a complete regenerative medicine strategy evaluating optimal stem cell sources and transplantation protocols, then generate workflow diagrams and translational roadmaps using Inkscape, NIH BioART, and Bioicons.
