Small Islets Transplantation Superiority to Large Ones: Implications from Islet Microcirculation and Revascularization
Figure 6
Small islets expressed more abundant VEGF-A. Small islets are apparently enriched in intrinsical VEGF-A expression verified by immunostaining of VEGF-A (brown) in situ and western blot (b and c, ) as well as qRT-PCR (d) () of isolated islets.
