Bioengineering with Endothelial Progenitor Cells Improves the Vascular Engraftment of Transplanted Human Islets
Pancreatic islets isolated for transplantation are disconnected from their vascular supply and need to establish a new functional network posttransplantation. Due to poor revascularization, prevailing hypoxia with correlating increased apoptosis rates in experimental studies can be observed for mont...
