title: Preservation and storage of pancreatic islets.
abstract: UW solution is currently the best available for short-term cold storage of pancreatic islets for up to 3-5 days, culture for up to 10-14 days, and cryopreservation for longer periods. More research needs to be done to find a better solution, specifically for cold storage of islets. It seems that such a solution is likely to be a derivative of the UW solution.
