The Potential of Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells to Improve Early Graft Loss after Intraportal Islet Transplantation

Early graft loss in islet transplantation means that a large amount of donor islets is required. Endothelial cells and endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) have been reported to improve instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) in vitro. In this study, we examined if ECFC-coated porci...
