Pancreas Preservation
Shinichi Matsumoto, Hirofumi Noguchi, Naoya Kobayashi, Angelika Gruessner and David E.R. Sutherland
Pancreas preservation is an essential process prior to both pancreas transplantation and islet isolation. Traditionally, research on pancreas preservation focused on pancreas transplantation. Recently, we focused on islet isolation and transplantation and then created a new solution.rnIn this chapte...
Metabolic Management
Sufan Chien
The removal of an organ, which is subjected to an unnatural environment necessitates special management strategies that differ from in vivo management. The normal human body and the bodies of other mammalian animals involve complex neurologic and hormonal regulatory systems. Adequate substrates and ...
