Transplantation 2007; 84:655-658. This study attempts to explain the mechanism by which TLM may improve islet yields. It suggests that TLM improvements are via the inhibition of apoptosis mediated by the mitochondrial pathway. Of note is that the comparisons were conducted between oxygen saturated perfluorocarbon in TLM and air saturated UWS. Perhaps an additional comparison of interest would be between oxygen saturated perfluorocarbon in TLM and oxygen saturated UWS.

Transplantation 2007; 83:754-758. This study suggests that improvement of oxygenation by the addition of perfluorocarbon during islet digestion may have a beneficial effect on islet yield. This study suggests that hypoxia during islet processing may be negatively affecting islet isolation outcomes and that ways to improve oxygenation may be necessary to further improve islet yield and isolated islet quality.
