The effect of molecular weights of microencapsulating polymers on viability of mouse-cloned pancreatic ß-cells: biomaterials, osmotic forces and potential applications in diabetes treatment

Introduction: Ideal cell-containing microcapsules should be capable of maintaining cell viability and exhibit significant structural stability to support cellular functionality. To date, such microcapsules remain unavailable; thus, this study used our well-established microencapsulating methods to e...
