Fig. 6From: Facilitating islet transplantation using a three-step approach with mesenchymal stem cells, encapsulation, and pulsed focused ultrasoundIn vivo analysis of islet survival and function (molecular analysis): the level of insulin within a the kidney and b blood serum of mice transplanted with islets (measured with insulin ELISA). The c cytokine expression profile in the kidney of mice transplanted with islets (measured with multiplex ELISA) in following tested groups: Islets, e-Islets, m-Islets, em-Islets, and emf-Islets. Significant differences: aP < 0.05: Islets vs. e-Islets or m-Islets or em-Islets or emf-Islets; bP < 0.05: e-Islets vs. m-Islets or em-Islets or emf-Islets; cP < 0.05: m-Islets vs. em-Islets or emf-Islets; dP < 0.05: em-Islets vs. emf-Islets (one-way ANOVA post hoc Tukey test)Back to article page
