  "definition": "A preparation of allogeneic human stem cell-derived, fully differentiated functional pancreatic islet cells, that can be used for islet cell transplantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Upon infusion into the hepatic portal vein, allogeneic human stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cells VX-880 may replace and restore pancreatic islet cells, which are destroyed in patients with type 1 diabetes. These cells may restore pancreatic islet cell function, produce insulin and may regulate blood glucose levels.",
