Abstract
This invention comprises engineered cells that express a nucleic acid that encodes a calbindin molecule, and exhibit the ability to secrete insulin in a glucose-sensitive fashion. This invention also comprises an artificial tissue that, when implanted into recipients that do not secrete insulin in a glucose-sensitive fashion, imparts to the recipients the ability to secrete insulin in a glucose-sensitive fashion. The artificial tissue comprises engineered cells that express a nucleic acid that encodes a calbindin molecule and secrete insulin in a glucose-sensitive fashion, enclosed by a semipermeable porous matrix.
