Survival and Function of Transplanted Islet Cells on an in Vivo, Vascularized Tissue Engineering Platform in the Rat: A Pilot Study

As in vivo tissue engineering of complex tissues and organs progresses, there is a need for an independently vascularized, alterable, and recoverable model. Current models of islet cell transplantation (release into the portal venous system, placement under the renal capsule, and microencapsulation)...
