Bill overview
This bill, the ISLET Act, aims to allow the regulation of human cadaveric islets – small clusters of cells from the pancreas – for transplantation as a recognized organ. It specifically amends existing law to include ‘pancreas, human cadaveric islets’ within the definition of transplantable organs. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to update regulations related to the handling and transplantation of these islets, ensuring they meet established safety and quality standards. This will facilitate the use of islet transplantation for treating diabetes.
