http://www.cbc.ca/story/science/national/2005/02/03/diabetes-transplant-050203.html Alberta surgeon pioneers transplant for diabetics Last Updated Thu, 03 Feb 2005 18:44:03 EST CBC News EDMONTON - An Edmonton doctor has led the world's first transplant of insulin-producing cells from a living donor, pioneering a surgery that could mean faster, better treatment for diabetics. Dr. James Shapiro and Japanese surgeons removed part of the pancreas from a 56-year-old woman and took out insulin-producing cells called islets. Then they successfully transplanted them in the woman's 27-year-old daughter. ----------more--------- What's your point? You don't bring anything useful. the key word here is "from a living donor"....as islet cell transplants from cadavers is already being done... I know several folks who have had it...and are doing fine.. just a headsup..... http://www.cbc.ca/story/science/national/2005/02/03/diabetes-transplant-0502 03.html > Alberta surgeon pioneers transplant for diabetics > Last Updated Thu, 03 Feb 2005 18:44:03 EST [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > ----------more--------- The story makes that perfectly clear. This is the same surgeon who developed the original surgery; part of the so-called "Edmonton Protocol". Exciting news for diabetics. No?

In any case, tissue matching is tough buiness for tissues where you need to have a good match. For those, availability of family members, who often match more closely and sometimes perfectly on the four major alleles, is very helpful. And family members are being used, for obvious reasons, in transplants of parts of lungs, livers, and so on. All more dangerous surgeries than getting a piece of pancreas. So pipe down. If you don't want to read this stuff, feel free to killfile Zee like most of the rest us have done with the far more obnoxious people who post here.
