pancreatic islet transplant
A pancreatic islet transplant is a medical procedure where clusters of cells called islets are extracted from a healthy pancreas and implanted into the pancreas of a person with type 1 diabetes. These transplanted islets contain insulin-producing cells that can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve the overall health and quality of life for individuals with diabetes.
