$SANA $ELDN Encapsulation back in the mix, again. In a Japanese study pig islets encapsulated in a material that could possible thwart fibrosis. In 1993 a patient got 9 months free of insulin before fibrosis set in at 9 months. This patient is at 6 months. This patient also was accepted into the ELDN trial but chose this encapsulation trial instead - I don't think I would've chose encapsulation over ELDNs tego, as encapsulation has always failed (eventually) over 30+ years of trying to crack fibrosis, but hey maybe they have done it! Haven't watched yet, but am watching right now. Exciting stuff, but as a T1D myself, Sana's solution is still the one I want most for myself.
