sub-deltoid versus intra-peritoneal implantation of canine macro-capsule allogenic amniotic membrane; assessment of rejection and neo vascularization

ABSTRACT

Aim: pancreatic islets encapsulation is an alternative for using the immuno-suppression to prevent rejection. We used the amniotic membrane as a macro-capsulation. The main objective was to assess the re-vascularization of the allogenic amniotic membrane macro capsule in different sites to ensure the islet viability when using it for encapsulation
