Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) confers tissue resistance to subsequent ischemia in several
organs. The protective effects are obtained by applying short periods of warm ischemia …

Increasing evidence supports the beneficial effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) of
organs on subsequent ischemia. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of IPC of the …

Brief periods of warm ischemia and subsequent short reperfusion before either long‐term
cold or warm ischemic insult (ischemic preconditioning, IPC) have proven to ameliorate …

We used a rat model of pancreas cold preservation to assess its effects on islets. Glands
were surgically retrieved and stored in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution for 3 hours …

Background. Islet transplantation success depends on the number and quality of islets
transplanted. This study aimed at exploring the molecular mechanisms associated with cold …

Prolonged pancreas cold ischemia is known to negatively correlate with islet isolation
outcomes, hindering successful islet transplantation to treat Type-1 Diabetes. Due to poor …

Background. In the rodent, ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been shown to improve the
tolerance of the liver to ischemia-reperfusion under normothermic or hypothermic conditions …

Background. Revascularization of freely transplanted pancreatic islets is essential for
appropriate graft function and survival. During the first days after transplantation, however …

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a phenomenon of protection in various tissues from
normothermic ischemic injury by previous exposure to short cycles of ischemia–reperfusion …

The demand for high-quality islets for transplantation in type I diabetics will increase as the
current clinical trials transition into standard of care. The mode of preservation of donor …
