Journal ArticleDOI

The unique cytoarchitecture of human pancreatic islets has implications for islet cell function

TL;DR: It is concluded that the unique cellular arrangement of human islets has functional implications for islet cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanded T cells from pancreatic lymph nodes of type 1 diabetic subjects recognize an insulin epitope

TL;DR: Results identify insulin-reactive, clonally expanded T cells from the site of autoinflammatory drainage in long-term type 1 diabetics, indicating that insulin may indeed be the target antigen causing autoimmune diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term survival and function of intrahepatic islet allografts in rhesus monkeys treated with humanized anti-CD154

TL;DR: In striking contrast to all previously tested strategies, transplantation of an adequate number of functional islets under the cover of anti-CD154 (hu5c8) monotherapy consistently allows for allogeneic islet engraftment and long-term insulin independence in this highly relevant preclinical model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Islet transplantation in type 1 diabetes mellitus using cultured islets and steroid-free immunosuppression: Miami experience.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that transplantation of cultured human islet allografts results in reproducible insulin independence in all subjects under this immunosuppressive regimen, comparable to that of freshly transplanted islets (Edmonton protocol).
