Researchers have reported, in a journal, American Journal of Transplantation, an artificial pancreas as a treatment for diabetes and other conditions.

‘Researchers say that use of the mechanical artificial pancreas in patients after islet transplantation may help the transplanted cells to survive longer and produce more insulin for longer.’

"Use of the mechanical artificial pancreas in patients after islet transplantation may help the transplanted cells to survive longer and produce more insulin for longer," said Dr. Gregory Forlenza, lead author of the American Journal of Transplantation study. "It is our hope that combining these technologies will aid a wide spectrum of patients, including patients with diabetes, in the future."
