## Abstract Research continued toward a bioartificial pancreas (BAP). Our BAPs consist of a perforated nitinol scaffold coated with reinforced amphiphilic conetwork membranes and contain live pancreatic islets. The membranes are assemblages of cocontinuous hydrophobic domains and hydrophilic channe
We believe that divalent cat- ions catalyze the process by increasing both the probability of vesicle-membrane contact and the duration of that contact, thus allowing time for the os- motic swelling to occur. For phospholipids, millimolar amounts of any diva- lent cation are required, whereas the pr
