As both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are characterized by reduced islet beta-cell mass and impaired insulin secretion, engineering new beta-cells for replacement therapy is appealing. For this to be successful, the intricate peptide processing and secretory machinery of the beta-cell must be duplicated. Further, the engineered beta-cell must be capable of modulating its function in response to physiological changes such as puberty, pregnancy and aging, and to more short-term challenges such as infection, exercise and weight fluctuation. The new cell should have a low risk for recurrence of the primary disease and ensuring its survival should not be worse than diabetes itself.
