Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disorder characterized by
hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency or insulin resistance.
There is no permanent cure for Diabetes. Only way is to replace
insulin producing beta-cells. Whole pancreatic transplantation and
purified pancreatic islets transplantation are the answer to cure
for diabetes. But scarcity of suitable donor and morbidity, high
cost involved are limiting factors for pancreatic transplantation.
Islet cell transplantation is less invasive procedure and safer than
total pancreatic transplantation established in year 2000. Isolated
islets carry less antigenic property
