In this episode, Rob Screaton joins us to discuss one major question: Can we get adult human beta cells to regenerate?
His lab uses high-throughput functional genomic imaging screens to identify novel players involved in cell signaling pathways that control human pancreatic beta cell proliferation. In addition, we are interested in the function and quality control of mitochondria, critical subcellular organelles essential for cell function and survival.

In this episode re-release, Avnesh Thakor joins us to discuss bioscaffolds that are used to support pancreatic islet transplantation. Dr. Thakor's research interests are focused primarily on the pancreas, with respect to regenerative medicine and oncology. In Thakor's lab, they are creating biocompatible 3D structures which contain spaces to accommodate islets. These bioscaffolds will aim to facilitate oxygen generation and angiogenesis, both of which are essential for islet survival and function.
