The ability to maintain isolated human islet preparations in tissue culture has recently been adopted by most islet transplant centers, and improves the safety as well as the practicality of islet transplantation. Maintaining islet viability and recovery, however, remains challenging in a clinical setting, due to stringent conditions required for culture. Islet culture is further complicated by the fact that islets do not form a monolayer. This review aims to clarify media, supplementation, and conditions that have been shown to be relevant to human islets, as well as to offer avenues of future research. Factors examined that may influence islet survival include base medium, glucose concentration, vitamin, inorganic ion, lipid, hormone, growth factor, amino acid, and binding protein composition and concentration, as well as culture temperature and seeding density. In addition, this article reviews novel techniques, such as coculture and matrices, that have been employed in an attempt to improve islet survival and functional viability.
