RE:RE:ViaCyte TrialThe article was in todays Globe and Mail.... so it is new trial.... but they are testing the sentinel cells not their device. Big difference between Viacyte and Sernova is that SVA has already done sucessful clinical trials on humans in Canada. Their previous device failed and caused fibrosis. Their new study is usin only sentinel cells only. Also viacyte tends to load their cells in the device before implantation and also most of their cells dies (precursor cells) dont mature in the device.
But the race is defiantely on.
