Human Fibroblast Sheet Promotes Human Pancreatic Islet Survival and Function in Vitro

Human Fibroblast Sheet Promotes Human Pancreatic Islet Survival and Function in Vitro

In previous work, we engineered functional cell sheets using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) to promote islet graft survival. In the present study, we hypothesized that a cell sheet using dermal fibroblasts could be an alternative to MSCs, and then we aimed to evaluate the effec...
