Ximerex, Inc. is dedicated to the treatment of tissue and organ failure using cells, tissues, and organs from pigs. For example, patients with type 1 diabetes have lost the insulin producing cells found in pancreatic islets. Islets and islet cells clusters isolated from the pancreas of pigs could potentially replace those cells. Ximerex is developing proprietary and patented technology for growing foreign cells, including human cells, within fetal pigs. Later, xenografts from humanized pigs are accepted without limiting the patient's ability to fight infections.
Ximerex currently produces fresh and cryopreserved quality tissues, such as pancreatic islets and islet cell clusters, from high grade clean pigs (SPF and DPF, VitalPure®). These tissues are provided to investigators studying diabetes and other diseases.
