Reestablishment of Microenvironment is Necessary to Maintain In Vitro and In Vivo Human Islet Function
Islet transplantation is associated with an elevated rate of early graft failure. The isolation process leads to structural and functional abnormalities. The reestablishment of the cell–matrix relationship is important to modulate the survival and function of islets. Thus, we evaluated the effect of...
