Washington: A team of the US researchers has developed a functional artificial pancreas that has performed well in humans in clinical settings.
It's been developed by combining mechanical artificial pancreas technology with transplantation of islet cells which produce insulin. In a study of 14 patients with pancreatitis who underwent standard surgery and auto-islet transplantation treatments,
