Porcine islet xenotransplantation has been demonstrated in many animal studies to cure experimentally induced diabetes. However, several issues currently impede the translation of porcine islet xenotransplantation to sustained insulin independence clinically. Although adult pigs have mature islets that secrete insulin in response to a glucose challenge, and are physiologically similar to humans, there are logistical considerations with adult porcine tissue that are not present with juvenile porcine tissue. To circumvent these issues, we have identified 18- to 21-day-old preweaned juvenile pigs as islet donors as we have previously demonstrated superior islet yields and function from juvenile pigs using our islet isolation protocols.
