Comparison of the collagen VI content within the islet-exocrine interface of the head, body, and tail regions of the human pancreas.
Efficient islet isolation depends on the use of collagenase to digest the extracellular matrix within the islet-exocrine interface, the molecular structure of which is poorly understood. Recently it has been reported that transplantable yields of islets can be isolated from the tail segment of the p...
