Plain-English Summary (AI-assisted)
This bill proposes to classify human cadaveric islets (insulin-producing cells from deceased donors' pancreases) as organs under federal regulation, similar to how hearts, kidneys, and livers are currently treated. This would bring islet transplants under the existing organ transplant regulatory framework rather than treating them as experimental cell products.
