Summary
The liver may not be an optimal site for islet transplantation due to obstacles by an instant
blood-mediated inflammatory response, and low revascularization of transplanted islets.
Therefore, intramuscular islet transplantation offers an attractive alternative, based on its
simplicity, enabling easier access for noninvasive graft imaging and cell explantation.
