Abstract

The article describes impact of advanced research in the USA and collaborative approach of US scientists and clinicians on development of the field of islet transplantation in Poland and all over the world. At the same time, it presents negative consequences of islet regulation by FDA as a biological drug leading to decline and extinction of the field in the US, while it is on the rise worldwide.

Keywords: Islet transplantation; Poland; Regulation.
