Pancreatic islet transplantation is a promising option for the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes who experience hypoglycemic unawareness despite receiving maximal care. Following the successful demonstration of the Edmonton protocol, more than 1,000 patients with type 1 diabetes have been treated at more than 50 institutions using islet transplantation. Clinical islet isolation is currently performed in a Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) islet processing facility, called a Cell Processing Center (CPC). The protocol for islet isolation has shown significant advancements on several fronts, including pancreatic ductal protection, improvements in pancreas preservation systems, a new islet purification method and culture/preservation of isolated islets. In this article, we review the current state of research regarding pancreatic islet transplantation., 論文}, pages = {9--12}, title = {[総説]臨床膵島移植と細胞処理センター}, volume = {34} }
