Comparison of Fetal Porcine Aggregates of Purified β-Cells versus Islet-Like Cell Clusters as a Treatment of Diabetes
Fetal pig islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) have the potential to reverse diabetes 1–5 months after transplantation. In a fetal ICC, however, β-cells constitute only 6–8% of the cells, in contrast to 65% in an adult pig islet. Attempts to purify fetal β-cells from cell clusters and compare their funct...
