Islet Cell Research & Transplant Centers in the US

16 Jul 2019

Islet cell transplantation is an experimental treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Islet cells are responsible for producing and secreting insulin. Without proper islet cell function, a patient becomes dependent on insulin injections. To alleviate this dependency, islet cell transplantation involves the isolation and transplantation of healthy islet cells from a donor pancreas into a recipient. Due to the research stage and novelty of this approach, it is not available everywhere. Here is a list of the islet cell research & transplant centers in the US.
