Towards the Development of a Bioartificial Pancreas: Effects of Poly-l-Lysine on Alginate Beads with BTC3 Cells

A bioartificial tissue construct that consists of insulin-secreting cells entrapped in an alginate/poly-l-lysine (PLL) matrix offers a promising approach for the treatment of type I diabetes. Use of transformed cells has been proposed as a solution to the cell availability problem posed by islets. T...
