The phrase "availability of human islets" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to medical research, transplantation, or studies involving human islet cells.
Example: "The availability of human islets is crucial for advancing diabetes research and improving transplantation outcomes."
Alternatives: "access to human islets" or "supply of human islets".
Much of this progress results from the increased availability of human islets and human pancreatic tissue to a large number of scientists and efforts by scientists to translate information from cell lines and animal models into human tissues and samples.
In contrast, little is known about the abundance or function of these transcription factors in human islet cells because of the absence of human islet cell lines and the low availability of human islets.
Despite a certain unavoidable variability in islets preparations and the limited availability of human islets in particular, it should be underlined that the findings of our study are fairly consistent, with regard to both the similarity of the results between rat and human islets and the effects of the protection exerted by the vegetal compounds on the measured parameters.

The tissue architecture of rodent islets is very different to that of human islets; cell-to-cell communication and interaction with the extracellular matrix may vary between species.
A subpopulation of human islets is composed of clusters of alpha-cells within the central beta-cell cores, while the overall proportion of alpha-cells varies among islets.
