Promoting Organ Donor Registries Through Public Education: What Is the Cost of Securing Organ Donors?

abstract：:One major limitation in pancreatic islet transplantation is availability of donor tissue. Donor shortage is exacerbated by islet apoptosis from the stresses of islet isolation and transplantation. Furthermore, the side effects of immunosuppressive drugs preclude transplants into patients whose diabetes is controlled b...
