Islet Cells

Human islets display unique morphological and functional differences compared to rodent models; therefore, they are a critical resource for better understanding diabetes physiology in humans. Due to limited supply and increased researcher needs, LifeNet Health LifeSciences has begun developing protocols to isolate high-quality human islets.
