Rapid loss of intraportally transplanted islets: an overview of pathophysiology and preventive strategies.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pig islets represent an alternative to the current modes of treatment for patients with diabetes. However, the concerns over pathogen transmission including that of PERV limit their immediate, widespread usage in humans. It has been previously demonstrated that PERV copy number and particularly expression le...
