Abstract
Transplantation of insulin-producing cells is an emerging treatment for type 1 diabetes. A recent report in Cell Stem Cell (Aghazadeh et al., 2021) outlines a new approach that accelerates the engraftment and improves the survival and function of such cell transplants by mixing adipose tissue-derived ready-made microvessels with human pancreatic progenitor cells or cadaveric islets prior to transplantation.
