Hypoxia-Preconditioned Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Mitigate Stress-Induced Apoptosis and Ameliorate Human Islet Survival and Function in Direct Contact Coculture System

Protection of isolated pancreatic islets against hypoxic and oxidative damage-induced apoptosis is essential during a pretransplantation culture period. A beneficial approach to maintain viable and functional islets is the coculture period with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Hypoxia preconditioning...
