Pancreatic Islet Basement Membrane Loss and Remodeling after Mouse Islet Isolation and Transplantation: Impact for Allograft Rejection
The isolation of islets by collagenase digestion can cause damage and impact the efficiency of islet engraftment and function. In this study, we assessed the basement membranes (BMs) of mouse pancreatic islets as a molecular biomarker for islet integrity, damage after isolation, and islet repair in...
