Designing anti-diabetic ß-cells microcapsules using polystyrenic sulfonate, polyallylamine and a tertiary bile acid: Morphology, bioenergetics and cytokine analysis.

Purpose: Recently sodium alginate (SA)-poly-l-ornithine (PLO) microcapsules containing pancreatic β-cells that showed good morphology but low cell viability (<27%) was designed. In this study, two new polyelectrolytes, polystyrenic sulfonate (PSS; at 1%) and polyallylamine (PAA; at 2%) were incor...
