From islet of Langerhans transplantation to the bioartificial pancreas
Type 1 diabetes is a disease resulting from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. When type 1 diabetes develops into severe secondary complications, in particular end-stage nephropathy, or life-threatening severe hypoglycemia, the best therapeutic approach is pancreas transplantation, or more recently ...
