- W2968278886 abstract "Transplantation of immuno-isolated islets is a promising strategy to restore insulin-secreting function in patients with Type 1 diabetes. However, the clinical translation of this treatment approach remains elusive due to the loss of islet viability resulting from hypoxia at the avascular transplantation site. To address this challenge, we designed non-spherical islet-like microtissues and investigated the effect of their geometries on cellular viability. Insulin-secreting microtissues with different shapes were fabricated by assembly of monodispersed rat insulinoma beta cells on micromolded nonadhesive hydrogels. Our study quantitatively demonstrated that toroid microtissues exhibited enhanced cellular viability and metabolic activity compared to rod and spheroid microtissues with the same volume. At a similar level of cellular viability, toroid geometry facilitated efficient packing of more cells into each microtissue than rod and spheroid geometries. In addition, toroid microtissues maintained the characteristic glucose-responsive insulin secretion of rat insulinoma beta cells. Furthermore, toroid microtissues preserved their geometry and structural integrity following their microencapsulation in immuno-isolatory alginate hydrogel. Our study suggests that adopting toroid geometry in designing therapeutic microtissues potentially reduces mass loss of cellular grafts and thereby may improve the performance of transplanted islets towards a clinically viable cure for Type 1 diabetes. Transplantation of therapeutic cells is a promising strategy for the treatment of a wide range of hormone or protein-deficiency diseases. However, the clinical application of this approach is hindered by the loss of cell viability and function at the avascular transplantation site. To address this challenge, we fabricated hydrogel-encapsulated islet-like microtissues with non-spheroidal geometry and optimal surface-to-volume ratio. This study demonstrated that the viability of therapeutic cells can be significantly increased solely by redesigning the microtissue configuration without requiring any additional biochemical or operational accessories. This study suggests that the adoption of toroid geometry provides a possible avenue to improve the long-term survival of transplanted therapeutic cells and expedite the translation of cell-based therapy towards clinical application." @default.
