Survival and Metabolic Function of Syngeneic Mouse Islet Grafts Transplanted Into the Hepatic Sinus Tract

Abstract

These results suggested that an HST can be constructed for islet transplantation by temporarily placing a nylon material in the liver parenchyma. The HST is a promising site for clinical islet transplantation, thereby providing a satisfactory environment for the survival and metabolic function of islet grafts.
