ECM-enriched alginate hydrogels for bioartificial pancreas: an ideal niche to improve insulin secretion and diabetic glucose profile
Introduction: The success of a bioartificial pancreas crucially depends on ameliorating encapsulated beta cells survival and function. By mimicking the cellular in vivo niche, the aim of this study was to develop a novel model for beta cells encapsulation capable of establishing an appropriate micro...
