Transplantation of islets of Langerhans isolated from donated organs is a promising therapy for diabetes type 1. The results so far have, however, not met with the expectations due to relatively low efficiency. Even in situations where the patients have become insulin-free, it has been estimated that the transplanted islet mass is less than 25% of the islet mass of a healthy individual, which in many cases has required repeated use of insulin injections. The islets are transferred to the patient by an infusion drop to the liver via the portal vein.
