Apoptosis in isolated islets has been implicated in primary nonfunction or early graft failure after islet transplantation. Recently, pancreas preservation by the 2-layer method (TLM) before islet isolation has been proved to improve the islet yield, quality, and transplant results not only in experimental models, but also in clinical settings. We examined the influence of TLM on apoptosis of isolated islets.
