Impaired revascularization of transplanted mouse pancreatic islets is chronic and glucose-independent.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) based immunosuppression after renal transplantation has proven to be safe and beneficial for children and adolescents. However, long-term analysis, in particular of pediatric patients, is scarce. PATIENTS:Data of 140 patients receiving MMF versus azathioprine (AZA) in combination...
