Summary

This study tests whether transplanting insulin-producing cells into the arm muscle can prevent diabetes after partial or full pancreas removal. Researchers aim to see if the arm is a better spot than the liver for these cells to survive and work. About 35 adults with non-cancerous pancreas conditions are taking part.
