Small Islets Transplantation Superiority to Large Ones: Implications from Islet Microcirculation and Revascularization

Figure 2

Distinct yield and islet cell viability between large and small islets freshly isolated. (a) Small islets are as twice to three times the amount of large ones isolated from each single batch of pancreas. (b) Islet cell viability analyzed by CKK-8 kit. Islet cells from freshly isolated small grafts are as much as 11% more viable than those from small ones ( ).
