The Use of Pancreas Biopsy Scoring Provides Reliable Porcine Islet Yields While Encapsulation Permits the Determination of Microbiological Safety
For clinical xenogenic islet transplantation to be successful, several requirements must be met. Among them is a sizeable and reliable source of fully functional and microbiologically safe islets. The inherent variability among porcine pancreases, with respect to islet yield, prompted us to develop...
