Table S1.
Group | Islet module | Other module | Comment | Label |
Islet modules with HUVEC; primary test group | Islets, HUVEC | HUVEC | No adMSC | Islet modules (+HUVEC) |
Islet modules without HUVEC; islets in collagen gel only | Islets | Collagen only* | No HUVEC, no adMSC, only collagen | Islet modules (−HUVEC) |
Islet modules with HUVEC and adMSC | Islets, HUVEC, adMSC | HUVEC, adMSC | 1 × 106 adMSC/mL of collagen | Islet modules (+adMSC) |
No-islet modules | HUVEC modules, no islets, no adMSC | No mixing of groups required; one type of module | No-islet modules | |
Free islets | N/A | No additional cells | Free islets |
These modules are larger than 0.05 mL, because collagen gel alone does not contract without HUVEC.
