(a) Islets survival rate after islet transplantation with different cells. I: 200 Islets; II: 200 Islets + 2 × 105 MSCs; III: 200 Islets + 2 × 105 imDC; VI: 200 Islets + 2 × 105 MSCs + 2 × 105 imDC. Islet graft alone (I) was all rejected within 14 days with mean survival time (MST) of days. Islets + MSCs (II) and Islets + imDC (III) achieved prolonged survival, with 20.91% ± 0.69 and 22.25% ± 0.28, respectively. Islets + MSCs + imDC (IV) had the highest survival rate of 83.33 (). (b) Daily blood glucose levels after islets transplantation in mice. Statistical method: one-way ANOVA. , compared with the control group.
