    Abstract Purpose of review: During the last decades, the field of regenerative medicine has been rapidly evolving. Major progress has been made in the development of biological substitutes applying the principles of cell transplantation, material science, and bioengineering.
    Recent findings: Among other sources, amniotic-derived products have been used for decades in various fields of medicine as a biomaterial for the wound care and tissue replacement. Moreover, human amniotic epithelial and mesenchymal cells have been intensively studied for their immunomodulatory capacities. Amniotic cells possess two major characteristics that have already been widely exploited. The first is their ability to modulate and suppress the innate and adaptive immunities, making them a true asset for chronic inflammatory disorders and for the induction of tolerance in transplantation models. The second is their multilineage differentiation capacity, offering a source of cells for tissue engineering. The latter combined with the use of amniotic membrane as a scaffold offers all components necessary to create an optimal environment for cell and tissue regeneration. This review summarizes beneficial properties of hAM and its derivatives and discusses their potential in regenerative medicine.

    Abstract Clinical islet transplantation (CIT) is an established noninvasive treatment for type I diabetes (T1D) and has demonstrated improved glycemic control, preventing the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia. However, CIT has several limitations, such as the need for multiple donors, lifelong immunosuppression, and suboptimal long-term graft function. Most of the transplanted islets are lost due to inflammation, ischemic damage, and delayed revascularization.Generation of organoids have gained increasing interest in regenerative medicine in recent years. In the context of beta-cell replacement, it offers a possibility to address limitations of CIT by allowing to produce uniform organoids from single or multiple cell types facilitating revascularization and anti-inflammatory and/or immunomodulatory protection. We have previously generated multicellular insulin-secreting organoids composed of islet cells and the human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs). These 3D insulin-secreting structures demonstrated improved viability and function both in vitro and in vivo. Here we detail a stepwise methodology to generate insulin-secreting organoids using two different methods. In addition, quality assessment in vitro tests are also described.

    Abstract The generation of human mini-organs, the so-called organoids, is one of the biggest scientific advances in regenerative medicine. This technology exploits traditional three-dimensional culture techniques that support cell-autonomous self-organization responses of stem cells to derive micrometer to millimeter size versions of human organs. The convergence of the organoid technology with organ transplantation is still in its infancy but this alliance is expected to open new venues to change the way we conduct both transplant and organoid research. In this Forum we provide a summary on early achievements facilitating organoid derivation and culture. We further discuss on early advances of organoid transplantation also offering a comprehensive overview of current limitations and challenges to instruct organoid maturation. We expect that this Forum sets the ground for initial discussions between stem cell biologists, bioengineers, and the transplant community to better direct organoid basic research to advance the organ transplantation field.

    Abstract Ovarian cancer and pregnancy are two states in which the host immune system is exposed to novel antigens. Indeed, both the tumor and placenta must invade tissues, remodel vasculature to establish a robust blood supply, and evade detection by the immune system. Interestingly, tumor and placenta tissue use similar mechanisms to induce these necessary changes. One mediator is emerging as a key player in invasion, vascular remodeling, and immune evasion: extracellular vesicles (EVs). Many studies have identified EVs as a key mediator of cell-to-cell communication. Specifically, the cargo carried by EVs, which includes proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, can interact with cells to induce changes in the target cell ranging from gene expression to migration and metabolism. EVs can promote cell division and tissue invasion, immunosuppression, and angiogenesis which are essential for both cancer and pregnancy. In this review, we examine the role of EVs in ovarian cancer metastasis, chemoresistance, and immune modulation. We then focus on the role of EVs in pregnancy with special attention on the vascular remodeling and regulation of the maternal immune system. Lastly, we discuss the clinical utility of EVs as markers and therapeutics for ovarian cancer and pre-eclampsia.

    Abstract Type 1 diabetes is a disease resulting from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. When type 1 diabetes develops into severe secondary complications, in particular end-stage nephropathy, or life-threatening severe hypoglycemia, the best therapeutic approach is pancreas transplantation, or more recently transplantation of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Islet transplantation is a cell therapy procedure, that is minimally invasive and has a low morbidity, but does not display the same rate of functional success as the more invasive pancreas transplantation because of suboptimal engraftment and survival. Another issue is that pancreas or islet transplantation (collectively known as beta cell replacement therapy) is limited by the shortage of organ donors and by the need for lifelong immunosuppression to prevent immune rejection and recurrence of autoimmunity. A bioartificial pancreas is a construct made of functional, insulin-producing tissue, embedded in an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory microenvironment and encapsulated in a perm-selective membrane allowing glucose sensing and insulin release, but isolating from attacks by cells of the immune system. A successful bioartificial pancreas would address the issues of engraftment, survival and rejection. Inclusion of unlimited sources of insulin-producing cells, such as xenogeneic porcine islets or stem cell-derived beta cells would further solve the problem of organ shortage. This article reviews the current status of clinical islet transplantation, the strategies aiming at developing a bioartificial pancreas, the clinical trials conducted in the field and the perspectives for further progress.

    Abstract Cell protein biosynthesis is regulated by different factors, but implication of intercellular contacts on alpha and beta cell protein biosyntheses activity has not been yet investigated. Islet cell biosynthetic activity is essential in regulating not only the hormonal reserve within cells but also in renewing all the proteins involved in the control of secretion. Here we aimed to assess whether intercellular interactions affected similarly secretion and protein biosynthesis of rat alpha and beta cells. Insulin and glucagon secretion were analyzed by ELISA or reverse hemolytic plaque assay, and protein biosynthesis evaluated at single cell level using bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging. Regarding beta cells, we showed a positive correlation between insulin secretion and protein biosynthesis. We also observed that homologous contacts increased both activities at low or moderate glucose concentrations. By contrast, at high glucose concentration, homologous contacts increased insulin secretion and not protein biosynthesis. In addition, heterogeneous contacts between beta and alpha cells had no impact on insulin secretion and protein biosynthesis. Regarding alpha cells, we showed that when they were in contact with beta cells, they increased their glucagon secretion in response to a drop of glucose concentration, but, on the other hand, they decreased their protein biosynthesis under any glucose concentrations. Altogether, these results emphasize the role of intercellular contacts on the function of islet cells, showing that intercellular contacts increased protein biosynthesis in beta cells, except at high glucose, and decreased protein biosynthesis in alpha cells even when glucagon secretion is stimulated.
