Islet transplantation for the cure of diabetes

Abstract

This symposium format was similar to that used in the Kroc Foundation Meetings that Josiah Brown organized previously. As it had been at the Kroc Meetings, this memorial symposium dedicated to Dr. Brown was very successful in terms of the quality of the presentations, updating the most critical findings in islet transplantation and fostering the free exchange of provocative opinions. All participants well recognized that there has been tremendous advancement in islet isolation techniques, understanding of the immunological mechanisms underlying islet rejection, and the development of methods of immunomodulation to overcome rejection-related problems. Progress in these areas is one more step toward the final goal of providing new treatment for diabetics.
