ISLET Act Increase Support for Life-saving Endocrine Transplantation Act

Introduced·3/19/26

The ISLET Act regulates human cadaveric islet transplants as organs under the Public Health Service Act.

The ISLET Act amends the Public Health Service Act to include human cadaveric islets in the definition of organs for transplantation. It mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update relevant regulations within one year of enactment and report to Congress on the progress. This change aims to ensure that human cadaveric islet transplants are regulated similarly to other organ transplants.
