The subject invention concerns new methods which make it possible, for the first time, to grow functional islets in in vitro cultures. The subject invention also concerns the use of the in vitro grown islet-like structures for implantation into a mammal for in vivo therapy of diabetes. The subject invention further concerns a process using the in vitro grown islet implants for growing an organ in vivo that has the same functional, morphological and histological characteristics as those observed in normal pancreatic tissue. The ability to grow these cells in vitro and organs in vivo opens up important new avenues for research and therapy relating to diabetes.

La présente invention se rapporte à de nouveaux procédés qui, pour la première fois, permettent de développer des îlots fonctionnels dans des cultures in vitro. La présente invention se rapporte également à l'utilisation de ces structures de type îlots cultivées in vitro en vue de l'implantation chez un mammifère dans le cadre d'une thérapie in vivo du diabète. La présente invention se rapporte en outre à un procédé utilisant ces implants d'îlots cultivés in vitro pour développer un organe in vivo qui possède les mêmes caractéristiques fonctionnelles, morphologiques et histologiques que celles observées dans le tissu pancréatique normal. La possibilité de faire se développer ces cellules in vitro ainsi que des organes in vivo ouvre d'importantes perspectives de recherche et de thérapie liées aux diabètes.
