Transplantation of immunoisolated islets of Langerhans has been proposed as a promising approach to treating insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Recently, a cell delivery system based on a multicomponent microcapsule has been designed for the immunoisolation of insulinsecreting pancreatic islets. T

Here we describe the preparation of BSA-FITC-loaded microcapsules as a model protein system for in vivo delivery. BSA-FITC-loaded microcapsules were prepared using a mono-axial nozzle ultrasonic atomizer, varying a number of parameters to determine optimal conditions. The preparation method chosen r
## Abstract Alginateโchitosan microcapsules to control the release of TramadolโHCl were prepared using two different methods. In the twoโstage procedure (Variant I) alginate was first pumped into a CaCl~2~/NaCl solution and then transferred into a chitosan solution. In the oneโstage procedure (Vari
A mild chitosan/calcium alginate microencapsulation process, as applied to encapsulation of biological macromolecules such as albumin and hirudin, was investigated. The polysaccharide chitosan was reacted with sodium alginate in the presence of calcium chloride to form microcapsules with a polyelect
