Improved Functional Survival of Human Islets of Langerhans in Three-Dimensional Matrix Culture
The current study evaluates functional survival of human islets maintained in tissue culture for up to 4 wk in suspension media (CMRL-1066 with supplements) and contrasts these results with immobilizing three-dimensional matrices (agarose or alginate ...

Human islet xenotransplantation in rodents: A literature review of experimental model trends
Among the innovations for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, islet transplantation is a less invasive method of treatment, although it is still in development. One of the greatest barriers to this technique is the low number of pancreas donors and the low

Unlocking beta cell health: The clinical potential of extracellular vesicles in type 1 diabetes
Extracellular vesicles serve as minimally invasive biomarkers of β‑cell stress and immune dysregulation in T1D. This review highlights the potentials of EVs as a biomarker to improve early detection and disease staging in type 1 diabetes. Abstract Background Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a lifelong autoimmune disease characterised by progressive immune ...

A Practical Guide to Rodent Islet Isolation and Assessment
Pancreatic islets of Langerhans secrete hormones that are vital to the regulation of blood glucose and are, therefore, a key focus of diabetes research. Purifying viable and functional islets from the pancreas for study is an intricate process.

Gelatin Density Gradient for Isolation of Islets of Langerhans
Isolation of islets of Langerhans (islets) has been performed by means of collagenase digestion of the pancreatic tissue combined with density gradient separation of islets from unwanted exocrine tissues.

Bulk Cryopreservation of Isolated Islets of Langerhans
Current methods to isolate human islets of Langerhans are limited and multiple donors are required for successful reversal of longstanding Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Cryopreservation of isolated islets is an effective method of storing and pooling islets.
