History of Islet Transplantation
The concept of islet transplantation is not new—investigators as early as the English surgeon Charles Pybus (1882–1975) attempted to graft pancreatic tissue to cure diabetes.
In addition, and somewhat ironically, the most commonly used agents (like steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and rapamycin) are also known to impair normal islet function and/or insulin action.
Since such patients whose diabetes is the most difficult to control have a poor quality of life, islet transplantation offers potential benefit.
