    Abstract: Hydrodynamic methods for conformally coating non-uniform size cells and cell clusters for implantation, thus preventing immune rejection or inflammation or autoimmune destruction while preserving cell functionality. A method for conformally coating cells and c clusters with hydrogels that are biocompatible, mechanically and chemically stable and porous, with an appropriate pore cut-off size. The methods of the invention are advantageously reproducible and result in a relatively high yield of coated versus non-coated cell clusters, without compromising cell functionality. Conformal coating devices configured to perform the methods of the invention, methods of optimally utilizing said devices and purifying the coated islets, and coated biomaterials made by said methods.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for preparing and producing canine pancreatic islets from immature pancreatic tissue. Such islets express, produce and secrete insulin upon glucose stimulation. The invention further encompasses canine pancreatic islets obtainable according to the present method, islet population of said islets and compositions comprising said islets. It also relates to transduced canine pancreatic islets, or tumours or cells derived thereof. The present invention also concerns the use of said canine pancreatic islets or cells derived thereof for treating a canine pancreatic disorder, such as canine diabetes, or for diagnosing canine diabetes.
