Though the transplantation of insulin-producing islet cells has been used to treat people with type 1 diabetes, such procedures require the use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the immune system from rejecting the cells. iTolerance is developing platform technology that can be used with tissue, organoid, and cell therapies without the need for life-long immunosuppression. We spoke to Anthony Japour, president and CEO of iTolerance, about the company’s platform technology that eliminates the need for immunosuppressive drugs with tissue and cell transplantation, the company’s lead experimental cell therapy for type 1 diabetes, and the broad range of regenerative therapies that could benefit from the technology.
