Abstract

Significance: Adrenal insufficiency is a life-threatening disorder that requires a complex and permanent hormone replacement strategy. All current replacement schemes suffer from numerous problems, as they fail to restore circadian variations in hormone secretion. Therefore, adrenal cell transplantation could be a preferable therapeutic alternative for patients suffering from primary adrenal dysfunction. This strategy is critically limited, however, by the lack of suitable donors of human organs and the requirement of chronic immunosuppression. Transplantation of immunoisolated xenogeneic adrenal cells could and would be a promising alternative for these patients. The most significant accomplishment of this study is the creation of long-term functional and immunoisolated artificial adrenals and their transplantation into animal models of adrenal insufficiency.

  • Xenogeneic adrenocortical cells from cows encapsulated in a microenvironment supporting cell viability and immune isolation showed encouraging results, including maintenance of steroidogenesis, when implanted into adrenalectomized rats.

    “Xenogeneic adrenocortical cells from cows encapsulated in a microenvironment that supports cell viability and immune isolation were developed and showed encouraging results, including maintenance of steroidogenesis, when implanted into adrenalectomized rats158.”
  • LHRH analog [D-Trp6]-LHRH and bombesin acutely stimulate adrenal glucocorticoid release.

    “Finally, it has been reported that the LHRH analog [D-Trp6]-LHRH (Balyura et al., 2015) and bombesin (Malendowicz et al., 1995) acutely stimulate adrenal glucocorticoid release.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
