Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune condition that results in the destruction of insulin-secreting β cells of the islets of Langerhans. Allogeneic islet transplantation could be a successful treatment for T1DM; however, it is limited by the need for effective, permanent immunosuppression to prevent graft rejection. Upon transplantation, islets are rejected through non-specific, alloantigen specific, and recurring autoimmune pathways. Immunosuppressive agents used for islet transplantation are generally successful in inhibiting alloantigen rejection, but they are suboptimal in hindering non-specific and autoimmune pathways. In this review, we summarize the challenges with cellular immunological rejection and therapeutics used for islet transplantation. We highlight agents that target these three immune rejection pathways and how to package them for controlled, local delivery via biomaterials. Exploring macro-, micro-, and nano-scale immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms, we summarize their advantages, challenges, and future directions. We hypothesize that understanding their key features will help identify effective platforms to prevent islet graft rejection. Outcomes can further be translated to other cellular therapies beyond T1DM.

Abstract
Novel transplantation techniques are currently under development to preserve the function of impaired tissues or organs. While current technologies can enhance the survival of recipients, they have remained elusive to date due to graft rejection by undesired in vivo immune responses despite systemic prescription of immunosuppressants. The need for life-long immunomodulation and serious adverse effects of current medicines, the development of novel biomaterial-based immunoengineering strategies has attracted much attention lately. Immunomodulatory 3D platforms can alter immune responses locally and/or prevent transplant rejection through the protection of the graft from the attack of immune system. These new approaches aim to overcome the complexity of the long-term administration of systemic immunosuppressants, including the risks of infection, cancer incidence, and systemic toxicity. In addition, they can decrease the effective dose of the delivered drugs via direct delivery at the transplantation site. In this review, we comprehensively address the immune rejection mechanisms, followed by recent developments in biomaterial-based immunoengineering strategies to prolong transplant survival. We also compare the efficacy and safety of these new platforms with conventional agents. Finally, challenges and barriers for the clinical translation of the biomaterial-based immunoengineering transplants and prospects are discussed.

Abstract
While progress has been made in the development of islet cell transplantation (ICT) as a viable alternative to the use of exogenous insulin therapy in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, it has not yet achieved its full potential in clinical studies. Ideally, ICT would enable lifelong maintenance of euglycemia without the need for exogenous insulin, blood glucose monitoring or systemic immune suppression. To achieve such an optimal result, therapeutic approaches should simultaneously promote long-term islet viability, functionality, and localized immune protection. In practice, however, these factors are typically tackled individually. Furthermore, while the requirements of optimal ICT are implicitly acknowledged across numerous publications, the literature contains few comprehensive articulations of the target product profile (TPP) for an optimal ICT product, including key characteristics of safety and efficacy. This review aims to provide a novel TPP for ICT and presents promising tried and untried combinatorial approaches that could be used to achieve the target product profile. We also highlight regulatory barriers to the development and adoption of ICT, particularly in the United States, where ICT is only approved for use in academic clinical trials and is not reimbursed by insurance carriers. Overall, this review argues that the clear definition of a TPP in addition to the use of combinatorial approaches could help to overcome the clinical barriers to the widespread adoption of ICT for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
FK506, a first-line immunosuppressant, is routinely administered orally and intravenously following heart transplantation. However, frequent administration can result in a substantial psychological burden to patients, resulting in non-adherence to medication. The purpose of our study is to overcome the disadvantages of systemic drug administration by developing a polymer-based delivery system that is tunable and biodegradable and that can release highly hydrophobic FK506 over extended periods to treat or prevent acute cardiac allograft rejection. Using an electrospinning method, long-acting microfibers were prepared, and FK506 appeared to be continuously released for up to 14 days based on the in vitro release profiles. After implanting the microfiber subcutaneously into the abdominals of transplanted rats, it was found that the infiltration of T cells and macrophages and the secretion of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-1β were significantly reduced compared with those of the free FK506 groups. More importantly, the mean survival time (MST) of the PCL-FK506 group was significantly extended in comparison with that of untreated control recipients and free FK506 (MST of untreated control recipients, free FK506, and PCL-FK506 was 8, 26.1, and 37, respectively). In conclusion, we propose that this drug delivery approach would be suitable for developing long-lasting immunomodulatory agents that prolong cardiac graft survival safely and effectively.

Abstract
Objective.Repair of nerve gap injuries can be achieved through nerve autografting, but this approach is restricted by limited tissue supply and donor site morbidity. The use of living nerve allografts would provide an abundant tissue source, improving outcomes following peripheral nerve injury. Currently this approach is not used due to the requirement for systemic immunosuppression, to prevent donor-derived cells within the transplanted nerve causing an immune response, which is associated with severe adverse effects. The aim of this study was to develop a method for delivering immunosuppression locally, then to test its effectiveness in reducing the immune response to transplanted tissue in a rat model of nerve allograft repair.Approach.A coaxial electrospinning approach was used to produce poly-ϵ-caprolactone fibre sheets loaded with the immunosuppressant tacrolimus. The material was characterised in terms of structure and tacrolimus release, then testedin vivothrough implantation in a rat sciatic nerve allograft model with immunologically mismatched host and donor tissue.Main results.Following successful drug encapsulation, the fibre sheets showed nanofibrous structure and controlled release of tacrolimus over several weeks. Materials containing tacrolimus (and blank material controls) were implanted around the nerve graft at the time of allograft or autograft repair. The fibre sheets were well tolerated by the animals and tacrolimus release resulted in a significant reduction in lymphocyte infiltration at 3 weeks post-transplantation.Significance.These findings demonstrate proof of concept for a novel nanofibrous biomaterial-based targeted drug delivery strategy for immunosuppression in peripheral nerve allografting.

Abstract
Purpose Paclitaxel (PTX) has been widely utilized for the treatment of breast cancer. However, drawbacks, such as poor aqueous solubility, rapid blood clearance and severe toxicity, greatly reduce its efficacy and safety. Herein, a novel self-developed curcumin derivative (CUD) was chosen as the carrier to develop a long-acting PTX nano-delivery system (PTX-Sln@CUD) in order to improve its pharmacokinetic behavior, anti-breast cancer efficacy and safety. Methods PTX-Sln@CUD was prepared using solid dispersion and ultrasonic technology. Relevant physical and chemical properties, including stability and release behavior, were characterized. The clearance of PTX-Sln@CUD in vivo was studied by pharmacokinetic experiments. The anti-tumor activity of PTX-Sln@CUD was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Hemolysis experiments, acute toxicity and cumulative toxicity studies were performed in mice to determine the safety of PTX-Sln@CUD. Results The average particle size, PDI, Zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and loading efficiency of the PTX-Sln@CUD were 238.5 ± 4.79 nm, 0.225 ± 0.011, −33.8 ± 1.26 mV, 94.20 ± 0.49% and 10.98 ± 0.31%, respectively. PTX-Sln@CUD was found to be stable at room temperature for half a year. The cumulative release rates of PTX-Sln@CUD at 24, 96 and 168 h were 17.98 ± 2.60, 57.09 ± 2.32 and 72.66 ± 4.16%, respectively, which were adherent to zero-order kinetics. T1/2, MRT (0-t) and AUC (0-t) of the PTX-Sln@CUD group were 4.03-fold (44.293 h), 7.78-fold (38.444 h) and 6.18-fold (14.716 mg/L*h) of the PTX group, respectively. PTX-Sln@CUD group demonstrated stronger anti-breast cancer activity than the PTX group. Importantly, the PTX-Sln@CUD group was safer compared to the PTX group both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion PTX-Sln@CUD was verified as promising therapeutic nanoparticles for breast cancer and provided a novel strategy to solve the problem of low efficacy and poor safety of clinical chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
The development of new therapeutic approaches to treat type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) relies on the precise understanding and deciphering of insulin-secreting β-cell biology, as well as the mechanisms responsible for their autoimmune destruction. β-cell or islet transplantation is viewed as a potential long-term therapy for the millions of patients with diabetes. To advance the field of insulin-secreting cell transplantation, two main research areas are currently investigated by the scientific community: (1) the identification of the developmental pathways that drive the differentiation of stem cells into insulin-producing cells, providing an inexhaustible source of cells; and (2) transplantation strategies and engineered transplants to provide protection and enhance the functionality of transplanted cells. In this review, we discuss the biology of pancreatic β-cells, pathology of T1D and current state of β-cell differentiation. We give a comprehensive view and discuss the different possibilities to engineer enhanced insulin-secreting cell/islet transplantation from a translational perspective.

Localization of drug biodistribution in a 3D-bioengineered subcutaneous neovascularized microenvironment. Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100390.

Abstract
Local immunomodulation has shown the potential to control the immune response in a site-specific manner for wound healing, cancer, allergy, and cell transplantation, thus abrogating adverse effects associated with systemic administration of immunotherapeutics. Localized immunomodulation requires confining the biodistribution of immunotherapeutics on-site for maximal immune control and minimal systemic drug exposure. To this end, we developed a 3D-printed subcutaneous implant termed 'NICHE', consisting of a bioengineered vascularized microenvironment enabled by sustained drug delivery on-site. The NICHE was designed as a platform technology for investigating local immunomodulation in the context of cell therapeutics and cancer vaccines. Here we studied the ability of the NICHE to localize the PK and biodistribution of different model immunomodulatory agents in vivo. For this, we first performed a mechanistic evaluation of the microenvironment generated within and surrounding the NICHE, with emphasis on the parameters related to molecular transport. Second, we longitudinally studied the biodistribution of ovalbumin, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4-Ig (CTLA4Ig), and IgG delivered locally via NICHE over 30 days. Third, we used our findings to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. Despite dense and mature vascularization within and surrounding the NICHE, we showed sustained orders of magnitude higher molecular drug concentrations within its microenvironment as compared to systemic circulation and major organs. Further, the PBPK model was able to recapitulate the biodistribution of the 3 molecules with high accuracy (r > 0.98). Overall, the NICHE and the PBPK model represent an adaptable platform for the investigation of local immunomodulation strategies for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell transplantation is a promising curative therapeutic strategy whereby impaired organ functions can be restored without the need for whole organ transplantation. A key challenge in allotransplantation is the requirement for life-long systemic immunosuppression to prevent rejection, which is associated with serious adverse effects such as increased risk of opportunistic infections and the development of neoplasms. This challenge underscores the urgent need for novel strategies to prevent graft rejection while abrogating toxicity-associated adverse events. AREAS COVERED We review recent advances in immunoengineering strategies for localized immunomodulation that aim to support allograft function and provide immune tolerance in a safe and effective manner. EXPERT OPINION Immunoengineering strategies are tailored approaches for achieving immunomodulation of the transplant microenvironment. Biomaterials can be adapted for localized and controlled release of immunomodulatory agents, decreasing the effective dose threshold and frequency of administration. The future of transplant rejection management lies in the shift from systemic to local immunomodulation with suppression of effector and activation of regulatory T cells, to promote immune tolerance.

Abstract
The increasing global prevalence of endocrine diseases like type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) elevates the need for cellular replacement approaches, which can potentially enhance therapeutic durability and outcomes. Central to any cell therapy is the design of delivery systems that support cell survival and integration. In T1DM, well-established fabrication methods have created a wide range of implants, ranging from 3D macro-scale scaffolds to nano-scale coatings. These traditional methods, however, are often challenged by their inherent limitations in reproducible and discrete fabrication, particularly when scaling to the clinic. Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques provide a means to address these challenges by delivering improved control over construct geometry and microscale component placement. While still early in development in the context of T1DM cellular transplantation, the integration of AM approaches serves to improve nutrient material transport, vascularization efficiency, and the accuracy of cell, matrix, and local therapeutic placement. This review highlights current methods in T1DM cellular transplantation and the potential of AM approaches to overcome these limitations. In addition, emerging AM technologies and their broader application to cell-based therapy are discussed.

Abstract
The subcutaneous space is currently being pursued as an alternative transplant site for ß-cell replacement therapies due to its retrievability, minimally invasive procedure and potential for graft imaging. However, implantation of ß-cells into an unmodified subcutaneous niche fails to reverse diabetes due to a lack of adequate blood supply. Herein, poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymers were used to make scaffolds and were functionalized with peptides (RGD (Arginine-glycine-aspartate), VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor), laminin) or gelatin to augment engraftment. PCL, PCL + RGD + VEGF (PCL + R + V), PCL + RGD + Laminin (PCL + R + L), PLGA and PLGA + Gelatin (PLGA + G) scaffolds were implanted into the subcutaneous space of immunodeficient Rag mice. After four weeks, neonatal porcine islets (NPIs) were transplanted within the lumen of the scaffolds or under the kidney capsule (KC). Graft function was evaluated by blood glucose, serum porcine insulin, glucose tolerance tests, graft cellular insulin content and histologically. PLGA and PLGA + G scaffold recipients achieved significantly superior euglycemia rates (86% and 100%, respectively) compared to PCL scaffold recipients (0% euglycemic) (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, respectively). PLGA scaffolds exhibited superior glucose tolerance (* p < 0.05) and serum porcine insulin secretion (* p < 0.05) compared to PCL scaffolds. Functionalized PLGA + G scaffold recipients exhibited higher total cellular insulin contents compared to PLGA-only recipients (* p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that the bioabsorption of PLGA-based fibrous scaffolds is a key factor that facilitates the function of NPIs transplanted subcutaneously in diabetic mice.

Abstract
While significant progress has been made in treatments for type 1 diabetes (T1D) based on exogenous insulin, transplantation of insulin-producing cells (islets or stem cell-derived β cells) remains a promising curative strategy. The current paradigm for T1D cell therapy is clinical islet transplantation (CIT)-the infusion of islets into the liver-although this therapeutic modality comes with its own limitations that deteriorate islet health. Biomaterials can be leveraged to actively address the limitations of CIT, including undesired host inflammatory and immune responses, lack of vascularization, hypoxia, and the absence of native islet extracellular matrix cues. Moreover, in efforts toward a clinically translatable T1D cell therapy, much research now focuses on developing biomaterial platforms at the macroscale, at which implanted platforms can be easily retrieved and monitored. In this review, we discuss how biomaterials have recently been harnessed for macroscale T1D β cell replacement therapies.

Abstract
The transcription factor NFATC2 induces β cell proliferation in mouse and human islets. However, the genomic targets that mediate these effects have not been identified. We expressed active forms of Nfatc2 and Nfatc1 in human islets. By integrating changes in gene expression with genomic binding sites for NFATC2, we identified approximately 2200 transcriptional targets of NFATC2. Genes induced by NFATC2 were enriched for transcripts that regulate the cell cycle and for DNA motifs associated with the transcription factor FOXP. Islets from an endocrine-specific Foxp1, Foxp2, and Foxp4 triple-knockout mouse were less responsive to NFATC2-induced β cell proliferation, suggesting the FOXP family works to regulate β cell proliferation in concert with NFATC2. NFATC2 induced β cell proliferation in both mouse and human islets, whereas NFATC1 did so only in human islets. Exploiting this species difference, we identified approximately 250 direct transcriptional targets of NFAT in human islets. This gene set enriches for cell cycle-associated transcripts and includes Nr4a1. Deletion of Nr4a1 reduced the capacity of NFATC2 to induce β cell proliferation, suggesting that much of the effect of NFATC2 occurs through its induction of Nr4a1. Integration of noncoding RNA expression, chromatin accessibility, and NFATC2 binding sites enabled us to identify NFATC2-dependent enhancer loci that mediate β cell proliferation.

Abstract
FK506, a first-line immunosuppressant, is routinely administered orally and intravenously to inhibit activation and proliferation of T cells after heart transplantation (HT). Current administration route is not conducive enough to exert its efficacy in lymphatic system. Herein, we proposed that subcutaneous (SC) administration of FK506-loaded nanoparticles (PLGA-FK506-NPs) would be valuable for treating acute rejection after HT. The biodistribution and pharmacokinetic study revealed that it could effectively deliver FK506 to the lymph nodes (LNs) due to their suitable particle size, especially in inguinal LNs. Subsequently, the therapeutic efficacy of PLGA-FK506-NPs on the HT model was evaluated using intravenous (IV), intragastric (IG), or SC injection. Histopathological analysis revealed that 80% of allografts exhibited only grade 1R rejection with negligible lymphocyte infiltration in the SC group. The IV group exhibited 40% 1R rejection with mild lymphocyte infiltration and 20% grade 3R that require further intervention, and the IG group exhibited grades 40% 3R rejection with more lymphocyte infiltration. Moreover, the infiltration of T cells and the secretion of IL-2 and IFN-γ were significantly reduced in the SC group compared with the IG or IV group. The mean survival time (MST) further revealed that 50% of grafts treated with PLGA-FK506-NPs via SC injection survived longer than IG and IV groups. Moreover, the MST of single-dose SC injection of PLGA-FK506-NPs demonstrated that it would effectively reduce the required dose for a similar therapeutic effect. Overall, these results indicate that SC administration of PLGA-FK506-NPs is a more effective route for chronic FK506 treatment.

Abstract
Islet transplantation has shown promise as a curative therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the side effects of systemic immunosuppression and limited long-term viability of engrafted islets, together with the scarcity of donor organs, highlight an urgent need for the development of new, improved, and safer cell-replacement strategies. Induction of local immunotolerance to prevent allo-rejection against islets and stem cell derived β cells has the potential to improve graft function and broaden the applicability of cellular therapy while minimizing adverse effects of systemic immunosuppression. In this mini review, recent developments in non-encapsulation, local immunomodulatory approaches for T1D cell replacement therapies, including islet/β cell modification, immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms, and co-transplantation of immunomodulatory cells are discussed. Key advantages and remaining challenges in translating such technologies to clinical settings are identified. Although many of the studies discussed are preliminary, the growing interest in the field has led to the exploration of new combinatorial strategies involving cellular engineering, immunotherapy, and novel biomaterials. Such interdisciplinary research will undoubtedly accelerate the development of therapies that can benefit the whole T1D population.

The impact of locally-delivered tacrolimus-releasing microspheres and polyethylene glycol-based islet surface modification on xenogeneic islet survival. J Control Release 2021; 336:274-284. [PMID: 34144106 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2020] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Pancreatic islet replacement therapy is an advanced choice for severe cases of type I diabetes. Nevertheless, extensive host immune response toward islet grafts remains a huge challenge for long-term graft function, and a lack of islet donors further increases the difficulties associated with upscaling this therapy. Mounting evidence suggests local delivery of immunosuppressive agents provides a feasible means of enhancing graft-protection. Among many immunosuppressants, tacrolimus (FK506) is one of the most potent interleukin-2 (IL-2)-mediated T-cell proliferation blockers. Here, we reported the effect of locally-delivered FK506-releasing PLGA microspheres (FK506-M) combined with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based islet surface modification on xenogeneic islet survival in C57BL/6 mouse model. FK506-M was prepared using an emulsion method to a particle size of 10-40 μm and released FK506 over 40 days in vitro. Around 80% of the initial dose of FK506-M stably localized near transplanted islets, as observed under a bioimaging instrument and by immunofluorescence staining of islet grafts. Interestingly, FK506-M at very low-doses (equivalent to 150 to 2400 ng FK506 per recipient) was found to inhibit the infiltration of immune cells into grafts and reduce serum IL-1β levels, thereby improving graft survival times dose-dependently. The PEGylation of islets alone was not enough to protect islets from early rejection. However, combined treatment with FK506-M additively prolonged xenograft survival. In conclusion, this study describes a safe, effective approach for translating a systemic exposure-free local drug delivery into clinical trials of islet transplantation.

Abstract
Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes, but large-scale application is hampered by the lack of a consistent source of insulin-producing cells and need for lifelong administration of immunosuppressive drugs, which are associated with severe side effects. To avoid chronic immunosuppression, islet grafts can be enveloped in immunoisolating polymeric membranes. These immunoisolating polymeric membranes protect islet grafts from cell-mediated rejection while allowing diffusion of oxygen, nutrients, and insulin. Although clinical trials have shown the safety and feasibility of encapsulated islets to control glucose homeostasis, the strategy does up till now not support long-term graft survival. This partly can be explained by a significant loss of insulin-producing cells in the immediate period after implantation. The loss can be prevented by combining immunoisolation with immunomodulation, such as combined administration of immunomodulating cytokines or coencapsulation of immunomodulating cell types such as regulatory T cells, mesenchymal stem cells, or Sertoli cells. Also, administration of specific antibodies or apoptotic donor leucocytes is considered to create a tolerant microenvironment around immunoisolated grafts. In this review, we describe the outcomes and limitations of these approaches, as well as the recent progress in immunoisolating devices. Impact statement Immunoisolation by enveloping islets in semipermeable membranes allows for successful transplantation of islet grafts in the absence of chronic immunosuppression, but the duration of graft survival is still not permanent. The reasons for long-term final graft failure is not fully understood, but combining immunoisolation with immunomodulation of tissues or host immune system has been proposed to enhance the longevity of grafts. This article reviews the recent progress and challenges of immunoisolation, as well as the benefits and feasibility of combining encapsulation approaches with immunomodulation to promote longevity of encapsulated grafts.

Abstract
Recent studies emphasize on developing immune tolerance by an interim administration of various immunosuppressive drugs. In this study, a robust protocol is reported for local immunomodulation using a single-dose of FK506 microspheres and clodronate liposomes (mFK+CLO) in a xenogeneic model of islet transplantation. Surprisingly, the single-dose treatment with mFK+CLO induce tolerance to the islet xenograft. The recipient mice display tolerogenic dendritic cells (tDCs) with decreased antigen presenting ability and T cell activation capacity. Furthermore, a reduced percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and an impaired differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into interferon-γ producing Th1 and interleukin-17 producing Th17 cells are observed. In addition, the immunosuppressive protocol leads to the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) which are required for the long-term graft survival. The enhanced generation of tDCs and Tregs by the single treatment of mFK+CLO cause xenograft tolerance, suggesting a possible clinical strategy which may pave the way towards improving therapeutic outcomes of clinical islet transplantation.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drugs often used as a first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC) exhibit challenges due to resistance development, lack of selectivity, and tumor heterogeneity. Currently, combination chemo-photothermal therapy is known to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs in PC. In this study, we develop adherent gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded PLGA microspheres for the treatment of PC. Polydopamine (pD) was used as a linker to adhere GNPs to the surface of PLGA-Ms and characterized using TEM. Short-term cytotoxicity of GNPs-pD-PTX-PLGA-Ms with or without NIR treatment was evaluated using CCK-8 assays. ROS and western blot assay were performed to determine the intensity of ROS following the treatment of GNPs-pD-PTX-PLGA-Ms with or without NIR in Panc-1 cell line. Successful adhesion of GNPs on the microspheres was confirmed by TEM. CCK-8 assay revealed that GNPs-pD-PTX-PLGA-Ms with NIR showed three-fold higher cytotoxicity, compared to the group without NIR. Furthermore, ROS and western blot assay suggest that GNPs-pD-PTX-PLGA-Ms with NIR showed more ROS generation, followed by downregulation of the expression levels of antioxidant enzyme (SOD2 and CATALASE). These results suggest that the GNPs-pD-PTX-PLGA-Ms in combination with NIR irradiation can provide a synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy for the treatment of PC.

Abstract
A cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) would help millions of people worldwide, but remains elusive thus far. Tolerogenic vaccines and beta cell replacement therapy are complementary therapies that seek to address aberrant T1D autoimmune attack and subsequent beta cell loss. However, both approaches require some form of systematic immunosuppression, imparting risks to the patient. Biomaterials-based tools enable localized and targeted immunomodulation, and biomaterial properties can be designed and combined with immunomodulatory agents to locally instruct specific immune responses. In this Review, we discuss immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms for the development of T1D tolerogenic vaccines and beta cell replacement devices. We investigate nano- and microparticles for the delivery of tolerogenic agents and autoantigens, and as artificial antigen presenting cells, and highlight how bulk biomaterials can be used to provide immune tolerance. We examine biomaterials for drug delivery and as immunoisolation devices for cell therapy and islet transplantation, and explore synergies with other fields for the development of new T1D treatment strategies.
