Therapy with Cell Encapsulation for Substitution of Organ Function and Tumor Treatment

摘要: Cell encapsulation represents an innovative technique. However, clinical applications are sparse. Most experiments and studies have been performed with either alginate or cellulose sulfate capsules, containing several cell lines a broad variety of applications, ranging all the way from substitution for impaired organ function release cytokines growth factors to gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy. A few conducted and/or under way.
