Formation of Composite Endothelial Cell–Mesenchymal Stem Cell Islets: A Novel Approach to Promote Islet Revascularization

Abstract
OBJECTIVE—Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contribute to endothelial cell (EC) migration by producing proteases, thereby paving the way into the tissues for ECs. MSCs were added to our previously described composite EC islets as a potential means to improve their capacity for islet angiogenesis.
