Transplantation of islets of Langerhans is a promising method for treating patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The major obstacle in clinical settings is early graft loss due to inflammation triggered by blood coagulation and complement activation on the surface of the islets after intraportal transplantation. We propose a versatile method for modifying the surface of islets with the...
Slow‐flow phenomenon is frequently observed during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with a filter embolic protection device. It results in technical difficulties and can lead to adverse neurological events. Flow impairment is thought to be caused by plaque entrapped by the filter and/or blood coagulation on the filter. Characteristics of heparin‐ or urokinase‐treated polyurethanes were analyzed by surface...
Transplantation of islets of Langerhans (islets) is a promising method to treat insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type I diabetes). However, insulin independence is typically realized for only ∼30% of transplant recipients, even with sufficient numbers of islets from multiple donors. Innate immunological reactions triggered by blood coagulation play a key role in the loss of islets at the early...
