Method for producing pancreatic islet-like structures (ILS's) having histology and insulin-producing properties corresponding to those of fetal pancreatic islets and islets from adult animals maintained in culture. The ILS's are produced by culturing isolated natural pancreatic islets, pancreatic duct pieces, cell clusters consisting of mildly digested pieces of pancreas, cell tissues obtained as by-products of the culturing methods, or previously-produced ILS's, in attachment to a substrate.
