The incorporation of water-soluble gel matrix into bile acid-based microcapsules for the delivery of viable ß-cells of the pancreas, in diabetes treatment: biocompatibility and functionality studies.
In recent studies, we microencapsulated pancreatic β-cells using sodium alginate (SA) and poly-L-ornithine (PLO) and the bile acid, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and tested the morphology and cell viability post-microencapsulation. Cell viability was low probably due to limited strength of the microc...
