摘要:
The present invention is directed to a composition comprising high mannuronic acid-containing alginate and a polycation having a polydispersity index of less than 1.5. The composition is particularly useful for making biocompatible microcapsules containing living cells for allo- or xeno-transplantation. Such microcapsules have enhanced durability and can maintain their structural and functional integrity over long periods of time compared to prior art alginate microcapsules.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the prevention or treatment of sensorineural hearing loss by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an implantable composition comprising encapsulated living choroid plexus cells.
摘要:
The invention relates to an improved method of culturing hepatocyte cells and non-hepatocyte cells that are capable of secreting liver secretory factors and their use in implantable compositions for treating liver diseases and disorders in patients in need thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of Sertoli cells and myoid cells for creating an immunologically privileged site in a mammalian subject, thereby facilitating the transplantation of cells that produce a biological factor in the treatment of a disease that results from a deficiency of such biological factor. Pharmaceutical compositions containing Sertoli cells and myoid cells, as well as therapeutic methods relating to the use of these cells are provided by the present invention.
