pubmed-article:9869858 | pubmed:abstractText | Despite the increasing success of whole-organ pancreas transplantation, the success of clinical islet allografts has remained limited. One of the factors limiting the success is the difficulty in monitoring islet allografts after transplantation. The aim of these studies is to develop a method of "biopsying" human islet allografts using a forearm islet implantation site. | lld:pubmed |
