It is particularly difficult to isolate porcine islets (PI). Experience suggests that the success
rate of porcine islet isolation (PII) is probably considerably influenced by the distension and …

Achieving good islet isolation is one of the most important factors for successful islet
transplantation. Porcine pancreas is suitable for islet isolation research due to its anatomical …

Clinical islet allotransplantation has become an increasingly efficient “routine” therapy in
recent years. Shortage of human donor organs leads to porcine pancreatic islets as a …

To establish a large-scale isolation procedure for adult porcine islets usable as a donor
source for xenotransplantation and as a model of human islet isolation, we improved several …

We used in situ perfusion and a multiple-organ harvesting technique to collect islets from
adult pig pancreata. The tissues were digested with collagenase P followed by purification in …

The aim of this study was to investigate the results of 20 consecutive porcine islet isolations
using a new enzyme Liberase PI. Twenty pancreata were procured for islet isolation, which …

The current situation of organ transplantation is mainly determined by the disbalance
between the number of available organs and the number of patients on the waiting list. This …

This study was conducted to develop an isolation method for adult pig islets and to
investigate in vivo function after xenotransplantation as well as in vitro function of isolated …

To achieve successful islet transplantation, a high viability is required. For this reason an
automated method including two chambers: one for islets isolation and one for recirculation …

Many procedures have been described for rat pancreatic islet isolation. Several factors
contribute to the pancreatic islet isolation outcome. One of the main problems in islet …
