Area of Science:

  • Organ transplantation research
  • Tissue transplantation
  • Endocrinology

Context:

  • Pancreas donation in Japan traditionally involved heart-beating or non-heart beating (NHB) donors for allografts.
  • Islet transplantation, classified as tissue transplantation, faces fewer legal restrictions.
  • NHB donors are crucial for obtaining pancreases for islet isolation.

Purpose:

  • To report the initiation and preliminary outcomes of an islet transplantation program in Japan.
  • To outline the selection and listing criteria for Japanese islet transplantation recipients.

Summary:

  • Japan has launched a new islet transplantation program utilizing pancreases from non-heart beating (NHB) donors.
  • Five Japanese institutes are prepared to commence islet transplantation, with specific criteria for recipient selection.
