Enhancement of in Vitro and in Vivo Function of Agarose-Encapsulated Porcine Islets by Changes in the Islet Microenvironment
The transplantation of porcine islets of Langerhans to treat type 1 diabetes may provide a solution to the demand for insulin-producing cells. Porcine islets encapsulated in agarose–agarose macrobeads have been shown to function in nonimmunosuppressed xenogeneic models of both streptozotocin-induced...
