Modified segmented polyurethanes were examined for biostability and biocompatibility using an in vivo cage implant system for time intervals of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 weeks. Two types of materials were used: polyether polyurethanes and polycarbonate polyurethanes. Two unmodified polyether polyurethanes
Sulfonated polyrotaxanes (PRx-SO(3)'s), in which sulfonated alpha-cyclodextrins (alpha-CDs) were threaded onto the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments in a PEG-b-poly(propylene glycol) (PPG)-b-PEG triblock copolymer (Pluronic) capped with benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)-L-phenylalanine (Z-L-Phe), were prepar

## Abstract Grafting of encapsulated living cells has the potential to cure a wide variety of diseases. Largeβscale application of the technique, however, is hampered by insufficient biocompatibility of the capsules. A major factor in the biocompatibility of capsules is inadequate covering of the i
