Looking at life today, it is difficult to imagine how complex biological processes and structures could have developed from ...

In this study, cell-laden alginate-poly-L-lysine (PLL) hydrogel structures with arbitrary shapes were constructed based on electrodeposition method. Electrolysis of water in alginate solutions with ...

Self-cross-linking polyelectrolytes are used to strengthen the surface of calcium alginate beads for cell encapsulation. Poly ( [2- (methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride), containing 30 ...

The method used in this study was spray drying. Bacterial cell damage from spray drying can minimized by adding coatings before conducting the process. The purpose of this study is to develop a ...

Due to these characteristics, this polymer has been also widely used for depositing drugs and growth factors, cell encapsulation, and scaffolds in tissue engineering applications. However, alginate ...

Three years later, Lim and Sun succeeded in normalising blood sugar levels in diabetic rats for up to three weeks [2]. They micro-encapsulated islets using a gel-like material called alginate, which ...

In the past, alginate was popularly investigated as transplantable materials for cell encapsulation to treat type 1 diabetes. However, the thick thickness of the capsule limits the blood glucose ...

Alginate has been investigated extensively as an encapsulation medium for β-cell islets. These microencapsulation systems have been shown to improve the survival and function of islet grafts implanted ...

The microgel encapsulation of transplanted stem cells was described in a paper (“Programmable microencapsulation for enhanced mesenchymal stem cell persistence and immunomodulation”) that ...
