Advanced microfabrication technologies and biocompatible hydrogel materials facilitate the
modeling of 3D tissue microenvironment. Encapsulation of cells in hydrogel microparticles …

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors which enhanced the compressive
properties of alginate/chondrocyte constructs. Firstly, we studied the effect of biochemical …

Aims/hypothesis Survival of microencapsulated islet grafts is limited, even when
inflammatory reactions against the capsules are restricted to a small portion of less than …

Microencapsulation of genetically engineered cells may have important applications as
delivery systems for therapeutic proteins. However, optimization of the microcapsules with …

Abstract Alginate/poly‐l‐lysine (PLL)/alginate capsules are used widely for the
microencapsulation of cells. Alginate consists of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid, the …

Human trials have demonstrated the feasibility of alginate-encapsulated islet cells for the
treatment of type 1 diabetes. Encapsulated islets can be protected from the host's immune …

The use of microencapsulation with alginate-poly-l-lysine (PLL) as the encapsulation
material has been hampered by overgrowth of collagen around implanted capsules. Studies …

The gel forming characteristics of alginate in the presence of calcium ions and further
crosslinking with poly-l-lysine led to the formation of sponge-like nano-and microparticles …

The goals of this study were to evaluate human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19)
for cell encapsulation and to optimize the alginate-based microencapsulation. We used …

Abstract Alginate‐poly‐l‐lysine (PLL) microencapsulation of cells is a promising approach to
prevent rejection in the absence of immunosuppression. Clinical application, however, is …
