Optimization of Islet Microencapsulation with Thin Polymer Membranes for Long-Term Stability

Microencapsulation of islets can protect against immune reactions from the host immune system after transplantation. However, sufficient numbers of islets cannot be transplanted due to the increase of the size and total volume. Therefore, thin and stable polymer membranes are required for the microe...
