The effects of microgravity cell culture on extracellular matrix expression, islet remodelling, and insulin secretory function
Insulin producing cells are vulnerable to damage at several key stages during clinical islet transplantation. This damage is caused by a number of factors; enzymatic-digestion during islet isolation, post-transplant exposure to hypoxic condition, and toxicity from immunosuppressant therapy. The enzy...
