[Foetal pancreas implants in an insulin-dependent patient. Technique and clinical results (author's transl)].
Fragments of foetal pancreatic buds taken before the 10th week of gestation, stored at - 196 degrees C and cultivated on artificial media were implanted in an adult, insulin-dependent diabetic patient. Following a 2 weeks latent period, the clinical symptoms of diabetes regressed within 2 months, although all insulin treatment had been withdrawn. These results have now been maintained for 11 months, but major overloads in carbohydrates are imperfectly controlled.
