Microencapsulation of islets of Langerhans in alginate/poly‐l‐lysine (PLL)/alginate capsules
may provide a method for transplantation in the absence of immunosuppression. The aim of …

Alginate is widely used for encapsulation of cells. Alginate is a linear block copolymer
consisting of mannuronic acid (M) and guluronic acid (G). It has been shown that enzymes …

The characteristics of the microcapsule surface, which interacts directly with the host
macrophages, may have a role in the biocompatibility of alginate‐poly‐l‐lysine (PLL) …

There is a need for better understanding of the biocompatibility of alginate–polycation
microcapsules based on their physicochemical characteristics. Microcapsules composed of …
