AI Technical Summary
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is difficult to treat effectively in the long term due to insulin resistance and progressive loss of islet beta-cell function, leading to complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic retinopathy, despite current treatment protocols.
A scaffold-cell construct comprising a biocompatible polymer of PLLA and PLGA with recombinant myoblasts overexpressing GLUT4, which are transplanted to enhance glucose uptake and restore glucose homeostasis.
The scaffold-cell construct improves glucose uptake rates and restores normoglycemia in diabetic subjects, providing a therapeutic avenue for treating diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
