FIG. 1.
Model of islet revascularization after transplantation. Endothelial cells from three sources (recipient endothelial cells at the site of transplant, intra-islet endothelial cells, and endothelial progenitor cells from the bone marrow) contribute to revascularization. The dotted line refers to processes or factors not yet defined.
