Long-term reversal of diabetes by subcutaneous transplantation of pancreatic islet cells and adipose-derived stem cell sheet using surface-immobilized heparin and engineered collagen scaffold

Objective Esterified collagen (EC) can be functionalized with heparin to enhance islet graft stability. Growth factors secreted by human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) can bind efficiently to EC-heparin (EC-Hep), which enhances revascularization and cell protection. We investigated the therapeu...
