Polymeric Approaches to Reduce Tissue Responses Against Devices Applied for Islet-Cell Encapsulation
Immunoisolation of pancreatic islets is a technology in which islets are encapsulated in semipermeable but immunoprotective polymeric membranes. The technology allows for successful transplantation of insulin-producing cells in the absence of immunosuppression. Different approaches of immunoisolatio...
