Improved Histological Evaluation of Vascularity around an Immunoisolation Device by Correlating Number of Vascular Profiles to Glucose Exchange
The aim of this study was to determine which vessels are important for the exchange of small molecules, such as glucose, from the microcirculation into an immunoisolation device. Reasonably, those vessels should be the ones of interest in histological evaluations. In a previous study, we examined th...
