Boosting the engraftment of subcutaneously transplanted pancreatic islets by nanofat
These findings demonstrate that nanofat markedly boosts the vascularisation and endocrine function of islet grafts. Hence, its co-transplantation with pancreatic islets represents a simple, clinically feasible approach to make the subcutaneous space available for future islet transplantation.
