Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, October 3rd, 2005
According to a study from Sweden, "Pancreatic islet transplantation has emerged as a therapy for type 1 diabetes and is today performed using both freshly isolated and cultured islets. Islet blood vessels are disrupted during islet isolation; therefore, proper revascularization of the transplanted islets is of great importance for islet graft function and survival. We have studied intra-islet endothelial cells after islet isolation, during islet culture, and following islet transplantation."
"By isolating islets from the transgenic Tie2-GFP...
