Amelioration of Diabetes in Mice after Single-Donor Islet Transplantation Using the Controlled Release of Gelatinized FGF-2

Amelioration of Diabetes in Mice after Single-Donor Islet Transplantation Using the Controlled Release of Gelatinized FGF-2

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 has been recognized to be a key element involved in angiogenesis and a putative factor involved in stem cell-mediated islet regeneration. However, the usefulness of FGF-2 in an islet transplantation setting has not yet been explored. We therefore evaluated the effect...
