Sustained heterologous gene expression in pancreatic islet organoids using adeno-associated virus serotype 8

Abstract excerpt

genetic manipulations for a number of clinical and research applications. We have previously shown that dispersion of islet cells followed by re-aggregation into islet organoids, or pseudoislets, allows for efficient transduction with viral vectors, while maintaining physiological functions of native islets. Among viruses currently used for genetic manipulations, adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have the most...
