Methods in Islet Transplantation Research

This volume represents the experiences of groups working in islet transplantation from all over the world and gives an insight into the field. It covers pancreas preservation, islet isolation, islet purification, and islet culture and cyryo-preservation. It also includes islet viability, islet immunoalteration, islet implantation, immunosuppression of the recipient, islet immunoisolation and foetal islet tissue.
