Isolated Pancreatic Islets in Three-Dimensional Matrices are Responsive to Stimulators and Inhibitors of Angiogenesis

The formation of a new microvasculature is essential for the long-term survival and function of the islet graft. In this study we examined endothelium of isolated pancreatic islets by stimulation with growth factors, different culture conditions, and genetic modification. We also inspected the effec...
