Abstract

Careful assessment of the safety and efficacy of islet transplantation should guide the selection process of a small number of children with type 1 diabetes who may be eligible for the procedure--some of whom are already receiving immunosuppression because of a previous transplant, others who are scheduled to receive de novo islet alone transplantation because of a life threatening risk of hypoglycemia. The outcomes of these initial investigations are predicted to shape the future boundaries of islet transplantation, diabetes, and transplantation.
