Influence of collagenase loading on long-term preservation of pig pancreas by the two-layer method for subsequent islet isolation.

BACKGROUND: The introduction of the two-layer method (TLM) for long-term human pancreas preservation revealed the enormous potential of TLM to improve graft function of isolated islets. It is still unclear whether pig islets can be successfully isolated from pancreases after prolonged cold ischemia...
