Optimization of pancreatic islets transplantation through fibroin scaffold
Panagenesi's Partners
The PANAGENESI project originated from the initiative
of five actors with complementary knowledge ans skills:
fibroin, a the most valuable protein of the silk, with
high biocompatibility, processing versatility and
ability to promote cell growth (Stazione Sperimentale per la Seta)
the preparation of twisted silk yarn with distinctive
characteristics and mechanical performance (Torcitura di Menaggio)
advanced textile machinery applied to knitwear (Comez)
the manufacturing of 3D textiles with peculiar morphological
and functional characteristics (Gaetano Rossini Holding)
recent developments in medical research
that led to the identification of innovative methods
for the treatment of diabetic patients through the
transplantation of pancreatic cells (Niguarda Hospital and University of Miami)
