Microencapsulation of islets of Langerhans has been proposed as a means of preventing their immune destruction following transplantation. Microcapsules of diameters <350 m made with an electrostatic pulse system present many advantages relative to standard microcapsules (700-1500 m), including small

Fibrin forms part of the stroma essential for growth of solid tumors. Anticoagulants reduce primary tumor growth and tumor metastasis in murine and some human tumors. These effects may be partly mediated by reduction of intra-tumor fibrin, although there are no quantitative data to support this hypo
Membrane molecular weight (MW) cut-off is a critical factor for immunoprotection of transplanted microencapsulated cells as well as for graft survival. Our goal was to study dextran and protein permeation through small (<350 m in diameter) alginate-poly-L-lysine microcapsules made with an electrosta
