Advances in Human Islet Processing: Manufacturing Steps to Achieve Predictable Islet Outcomes from Research Pancreases
This presentation of a six-year study processing human islets for research and transplantation includes a review of multi-center transplant studies identifying key variables critical for successful islet processing and defines standardized processing procedures required to provide highly purified, functional Human Islets. Methods:Human islet processing methods are defined in detail with pancreas retrieval, shipping, trimming for […]
Encapsulated Human Islet Allografts: Providing Safety with Efficacy
The general consensus among transplant centers is that a cold ischemia time (CIT) beyond 8 hours results in reduced yields and quality of human islets.
Islet Isolation From Human Pancreas With Extended Cold Ischemia Time
The general consensus among transplant centers is that a cold ischemia time (CIT) beyond 8 hours results in reduced yields and quality of human islets.
