Lenz G, Miao L, Lenz A, Mares J, Quijano J, Zook H, et al.
Pancreas . 2024 Sep; 53(10):e818-e829. PMID: 39259841
Objective: Islet transplantation is an effective treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, transplant success depends on quick islet assessment because islets deteriorate 2-3 days after isolation. A new tool, single-cell...

Okada A, Yamada-Yamashita M, Tominaga Y, Jo K, Mori H, Suzuki R, et al.
J Diabetes Investig . 2022 Apr; 13(7):1140-1148. PMID: 35396829
Aims/introduction: Several research groups have reported methods for quantifying pancreatic beta cell (β-cell) injury by measuring β-cell-specific CpG unmethylation of the insulin gene in circulation using digital droplet PCR or...

Mbongue J, Alhoshani A, Rawson J, Garcia P, Gonzalez N, Ferreri K, et al.
Front Immunol . 2020 May; 11:712. PMID: 32411136
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) arises secondary to immune-driven destruction of pancreatic β-cells and manifests as insulin-deficient hyperglycemia. We showed that oral vaccination with live attenuated , which simultaneously delivers autoantigens...

Husseiny M, Fahmy A, Du W, Gu A, Garcia P, Ferreri K, et al.
Front Genet . 2020 Apr; 11:300. PMID: 32318096
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress immune responses in an antigen-specific manner. Of clinical relevance, Tregs can be isolated and expanded while maintaining immunoregulatory function. Tregs are classified as CD4CD25CD127 FOXP3...

Lenz A, Lenz G, Ku H, Ferreri K, Kandeel F
PLoS One . 2019 Aug; 14(8):e0221456. PMID: 31430329
Gastrin is a peptide hormone, which in combination with other factors such as TGFα, EGF or GLP-1, is capable of increasing beta cell mass and lowering blood glucose levels in...

Mbongue J, Rawson J, Garcia P, Gonzalez N, Cobb J, Kandeel F, et al.
Front Immunol . 2019 Mar; 10:320. PMID: 30863412
Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) involve the loss of regulatory mechanisms resulting in increased tissue-specific cytotoxicity. The result is destruction of pancreatic insulin-producing β-cells and loss of...

Husseiny M, Du W, Mbongue J, Lenz A, Rawson J, Kandeel F, et al.
Vaccine . 2018 Nov; 36(52):8008-8018. PMID: 30416020
We previously reported the development of an oral vaccine for diabetes based on live attenuated Salmonella-expressing preproinsulin (PPI) as the autoantigen. When combined with host cell-expressed TGFβ, the vaccine prevented...

Cho H, Kumar S, Yang D, Vaidyanathan S, Woo K, Garcia I, et al.
ACS Sens . 2018 Jan; 3(1):65-71. PMID: 29322773
Label-free optical detection of insulin would allow in vitro assessment of pancreatic cell functions in their natural state and expedite diabetes-related clinical research and treatment; however, no existing method has...

Kurian S, Ferreri K, Wang C, Todorov I, Al-Abdullah I, Rawson J, et al.
PLoS One . 2017 Oct; 12(10):e0185331. PMID: 28968432
There is growing evidence that transplantation of cadaveric human islets is an effective therapy for type 1 diabetes. However, gauging the suitability of islet samples for clinical use remains a...

Yang J, Waldron R, Su H, Moro A, Chang H, Eibl G, et al.
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol . 2016 Sep; 311(4):G675-G687. PMID: 27609771
Epidemiological studies support strong links between obesity, diabetes, and pancreatic disorders including pancreatitis and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia, the...
