Abstract: The shortage of donor islets is a significant obstacle for widespread clinical application of pancreatic islet transplantation. To investigate whether adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) induce expansion of transplanted islets, we performed co-transplantation experiments… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/dom.12857
Abstract: A non‐invasive imaging method to monitor islet grafts could provide novel and improved insight into the fate of transplanted islets and, potentially, monitor the effect of therapeutic interventions. Therefore, such an imaging method could help… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13036-018-0098-3
Abstract: BackgroundIslet transplantation is increasingly used in the diabetic patients to control the blood glucose level. However, the functional output of transplanted islets remains hampered due to the local inflammation, loss of islets, etc. To that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.849580
Abstract: Clinical islet transplantation has the potential to cure type 1 diabetes. Despite recent therapeutic success, it is still uncommon because transplanted islets are damaged by multiple challenges, including instant blood mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR), inflammatory… read more here.
