ESOT Congress 2025: Scientists create functional human islets in 3D printing breakthrough for type 1 diabetes treatment

LONDON, June 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, the new technology could pave the way for more effective and less invasive treatment for people living with type 1 diabetes. The breakthrough involved printing human islets – the insulin-producing clusters of cells in the pancreas – using a customised bioink made from alginate and decellularised human pancreatic tissue. This approach produced durable, high-density islet structures that remained alive and functional for up to three weeks, maintaining strong insulin responses to glucose and showing real potential for future clinical use. Traditional islet transplants are typically infused into the liver, a process that can result in significant loss of cells and limited long-term success. In contrast, the 3D-printed islets were designed to be implanted just under the skin, a simple procedure requiring only local anaesthesia and a small incision. This minimally invasive approach could offer a safer and more comfortable option for patients. "Our goal was to recreate the natural environment of the pancreas so that transplanted cells would survive and function better," explained lead author Dr. Quentin Perrier. "We used a special bioink that mimics the support structure of the pancreas, giving islets the oxygen and nutrients they need to thrive." The bioprinted islets stayed alive and healthy, with over 90% cell survival. They responded better to glucose than standard islet preparations, releasing more insulin when it was needed. By day 21, the islets showed a stronger ability to sense and react to blood sugar levels – an important sign that they could work well after being implanted. The constructs maintained their structure without clumping or breaking down, overcoming a common hurdle in earlier approaches. Additionally, the 3D-printed structures featured a porous architecture that enhanced the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the embedded islets. This design helped maintain cell health and promoted vascularisation, both of which are critical for long-term survival and function after transplantation. "This is one of the first studies to use real human islets instead of animal cells in bioprinting, and the results are incredibly promising," noted Dr. Perrier. "We're getting closer to creating an off-the-shelf treatment for diabetes that could one day eliminate the need for insulin injections."

CKGSB Dean Li Haitao Illuminates on China's AI Trajectory at 2025 Summer Davos

TIANJIN, China, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) Dean and Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Finance Li Haitao spoke at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2025 of the World Economic Forum, widely known as Summer Davos, in Tianjin, China, for the second year in a row, a testament to the school's thought leadership and acknowledgement. This year's Summer Davos focused on entrepreneurship for a new era. As the most active Chinese business school this year at the Summer Davos, CKGSB contributed to the discourse on multiple meaningful topics including AI reshaping global competition and entrepreneurship in the new era. In the session broadcast live globally on June 26, "Understanding China's approach to AI," Dean Li joined leading voices to explore China's advantage in developing AI amid re-globalization, industrial possibilities brought by AI, and how AI can propel doing business for good by providing scarce resources. "Only two countries, China and the US, can lead AI revolution in the next decades," emphasized Dean Li. "China has done lots of accumulation for decades with infrastructure, data, talent, and market to establish a unique AI ecosystem. Beyond home appliances, smartphones, and automobiles, humanoid robots have the greatest potential to become a trillion-dollar industry in China. CKGSB aspires to systematically prepare business leaders for what the AI era requires for strategic architecture capabilities and new leadership skills." Moderated by renowned journalist Yang Lan, the panel also featured executives and scholars including Unitree Robotics Founder and CEO Wang Xingxing, Haier CEO Zhou Yunjie, USC Professor of Law Angela Zhang Huyue, and Workera Founder and CEO Kian Katanforoosh. In addition, Dean Li delivered a keynote speech at the session around Gen Z consumers. He noted that with Gen Z's robust purchasing power and authentic passion for eco-conscious consumption, and as more start to evaluate companies' sustainable commitment when making career decisions, companies must build a new collaboration structure where people at all levels get to affect decision making, contribute their own knowledge and jointly create value. Dean Li also participated at the Global University Leaders Meeting, discussing how higher education institutions should shape the future of research through partnerships and continue to serve as engines of innovation. CKGSB also co-hosted CKGSB's 2025 Davos Night in collaboration with Tencent's Tencent News.
