Review :
"This is an excellent collection of chapters by leading experts and will likely become the standard reference for practitioners of islet transplantation. The revolutionary change in success rates and basic development since the Edmonton protocol and international enthusiasm for program development in this area make this a timely publication and a necessary update to Dr. Ricordi's 1992 book on the subject … Nonetheless, this book is an instant and welcome standard for programs, clinicians, and researchers striving to maximize and improve outcomes for patients undergoing islet transplantation." —Marc Rider Garfinkel, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine), Doody’s Reviews
