Islets focuses primarily on state-of-the-art strategies for the improvement of islet transplantation methodologies. The book will be solidly built upon the foundation of two sections dedicated to elucidating the new knowledge of the normal biology of pancreatic islet cells and the latest understanding of the genetic, molecular, cellular, and environmental mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of Type 1 diabetes. The book is written by internationally-renowned authorities in the field. This will ensure not only the validity and quality of this work, but that the most prominent breakthroughs will be accessed in the most up-to-date manner.
