Sotrastaurin (AEB071) alone and in combination with cyclosporine A prolongs survival times of non-human primate recipients of life-supporting kidney allografts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Macroencapsulated islets can reverse hyperglycemia in diabetic animals when transplanted i.p. or into the fat pad. The s.c. space is an attractive site for such transplantation because macrocapsules can be implanted with local anesthesia and be easily removed or reloaded with fresh islets. METHODS:Immunopro...
