Survival of free and encapsulated human and rat islet xenografts transplanted into the mouse bone marrow.
Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The aim of the present study was to assess the survival and rejection mechanisms of free and encapsulated xenogeneic islets transplanted into the medullary cavity of the f...

Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation.
