FDA perspective: enrolment of elderly transplant recipients in clinical trials.

abstract：:Currently it is not feasible to isolate sufficient numbers of islets from a single pancreas for clinical transplantation. We examined whether small numbers of islets obtained from multiple donors could be used for transplantation. Islets were isolated from four inbred strains of mice (DBA/2, DBA/1, C3H, and A.SW) by a...
