Inflammatory mediators expressed in human islets of Langerhans: implications for islet transplantation

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003
Expression of immune modulating mediators in human Islets of Langerhans could have important implications for development of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes and influence the outcome of clinical islet transplantation. Islets obtained from five donors were analyzed at various times after isolation using cDNA array technology.

In Vivo Imaging of Transplanted Pancreatic Islets

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The beta-cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin and play an important role in glucose homeostasis. Diabetes, characterized by hyperglycemia, results from an absolute or a relative deficiency of the pancreatic beta-cell mass ...

Human islet isolation and allotransplantation in 22 consecutive cases [PDF]

, 1992
This report provides our initial experience in islet isolation and intrahepatic allotransplantation in 21 patients. In group 1, 10 patients underwent combined liver-islet allotransplantation following upper-abdominal exenteration for cancer.

In Vivo Imaging of Transplanted Islets with ^(64)Cu-DO3A-VS-Cys^(40)-Exendin-4 by Targeting GLP-1 Receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) is highly expressed in pancreatic islets, especially on β-cells. Therefore, a properly labeled ligand that binds to GLP-1R could be used for in vivo pancreatic islet imaging.

Pancreas and islet cell transplantation [PDF]

, 2002
Currently, for the patient with type 1 diabetes, a definitive treatment without resorting to the use of exogenous insulin can be achieved only with pancreas or islet cell transplantation.

Generation of glucose-responsive functional islets with a three-dimensional structure from mouse fetal pancreatic cells and iPS cells in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Islets of Langerhans are a pancreatic endocrine compartment consisting of insulin-producing β cells together with several other hormone-producing cells. While some insulin-producing cells or immature pancreatic cells have been generated in vitro from ES ...

Influence of the purification of human adult pancreatic islets on insulin secretion [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010
Background/Aim. The most effective method for human adult pancreatic islets purification is density-gradient centrifugation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of non-automated purification on preservation of functional capacity of human ...

Pancreatic islet transplantation after upper abdominal exeriteration and liver replacement [PDF]

, 1990
Nine patients who became diabetic after upper-abdominal exenteration and liver transplantation were given pancreatic islet-cell grafts obtained from the liver donor (eight cases), a third-party donor (one), or both (four). Two patients were diabetic when
