High‐Efficiency, Prevascularization‐Free Macroencapsulation System for Subcutaneous Transplantation of Pancreatic Islets for Enhanced Diabetes Treatment (Adv. Mater. 50/2024)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Islet Macroencapsulation System for Subcutaneous Transplantation A novel multilayered macroencapsulation system positions islets within specialized micro-shell layers to maximize their proximity to surrounding host vasculature in subcutaneous tissue. This innovative design improves the supply of nutrients/oxygen, while the optimized islet density facilitates efficient functionality in low-vascular environments, offering a promising solution for enhancing the treatment of type I diabetes.
