Microencapsulation of tissues and cells for treatment of hormone-related diseases

Project Overview

A method of treatment for various diseases incorporates the encapsulation of cells and tissues and the time-released delivery of chemical mediators. Presently, this method encounters a slew of problems, including a lack of biocompatibility, limited immunoprotective properties, and hypoxia. The client desires the development of microcapsules that would permit the successful release of hormones (namely, testosterone and inhibin) by encapsulated cells into animals, while avoiding the aforementioned problems.
