Abstract
Islet transplantation (IT) is a successful natural cell therapy. But the benefits are known mostly to individuals with severe type 1 diabetes who undergo IT and the health care professionals that work to make the therapy available, reproducible, and safe. Data linking IT to overall survival in T1D might alter this situation and frame the therapy in a more positive light. Recent analysis of mortality in several cohorts suggests that IT has possible survival benefits when used alone or in conjunction with renal transplantation. Multi-center prospective studies with long-term follow-up of individuals that receive stand-alone IT versus individuals who qualify for but do not undergo the procedure would seem reasonable to undertake to confirm an IT survival benefit.
期刊介绍：
Cell Transplantation, The Regenerative Medicine Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is published 12 times annually. Cell Transplantation is a multi-disciplinary forum for publication of articles on cell transplantation and its applications to human diseases. Articles focus on a myriad of topics including the physiological, medical, pre-clinical, tissue engineering, stem cell, and device-oriented aspects of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and endothelial systems, as well as genetically engineered cells. Cell Transplantation also reports on relevant technological advances, clinical studies, and regulatory considerations related to the implantation of cells into the body in order to provide complete coverage of the field.
