| Abstract
|
:
|
By 2010, the number of patients with diabetes is expected to reach expansive proportions. Outlining the most recent advances and research breakthroughs, this guide will demonstrate the impact of islet cell transplantation on treatment for insulin dependent diabetics within the next decade. Edited by a surgeon and endocrinologist at the forefront of the technology, this source considers challenges associated with this procedure, including the lack of sufficient donor organs and the side effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
