Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I'm sorry you were turned down for the study. I know how much you must want those cells. I really do. I worry a lot that I will loose cells before I can chance at the auto transplant. However, I didn't know if you were aware, but you have to have 3000 islet cells per kg. thats probably why they were so strict with the weights. To make sure they could implant enough patients for better study results. I'm not sure exactly how many cells we have but I think if falls somewhere in the 250K area. Keep trying though they are getting better and better at preserving the life of the cells outside the body. Warmly, Chrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
