Figure 6. Co-transplantation of vascularization supporting cells to improve engraftment.

Figure 6.

Vascularization supporting cells can be mixed with islets or cell aggregates before transplantation (a). Vascularization supporting cells can be included with hormone-producing cells during aggregation (b). Vascularization supporting cells can be coated on islets or cell aggregates before transplantation (c). It is also possible to coat vascularization supporting cells on or in islet-matrix modules (d).
