Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Endocrinology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • The pancreas regulates glucose and digestion; dysfunction causes diseases like diabetes mellitus.
  • Murine models advance understanding but have limited clinical relevance due to genetic differences.
  • Engineered in vitro models offer a promising alternative for studying pancreatic endocrine dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review state-of-the-art engineered tools for studying pancreatic endocrine dysfunction.
  • To highlight advancements in islet on a chip and live pancreatic slice technologies.
  • To discuss the potential of combined strategies for next-generation pancreatic tissue modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on engineered pancreatic models.
  • Analysis of islet on a chip devices for controlled culture and noninvasive readouts.
  • Evaluation of live pancreatic slices for recapitulating in vivo cellular interplay.

Main Results:

  • Islet on a chip devices create physiomimetic niches for islet cultures.
  • Live pancreatic slices offer comprehensive recapitulation of pancreatic cellular interactions.
  • Challenges remain in long-term culture of live pancreatic slices, requiring controlled parameters.

Conclusions:

  • Engineered tools like islet on a chip and live pancreatic slices are advancing pancreatic research.
  • Combining islet-immune and slice on chip strategies can lead to improved pancreatic tissue models.
  • These models hold promise for better understanding and treatment of endocrine pancreatic dysfunctions.
