    Abstract: Encapsulated viable cells for implanting are prepared having cells dispersed in a particulate, essentially non cross-linked chitosan core matrix that is enclosed within a semipermeable membrane. The cells are entrapped between chitosan particles of the core matrix and there is essentially no interfacial cross-linking between the core matrix and the membrane. The core matrix provides a physical support for the cells such that the cells are evenly dispersed throughout the core matrix so as to allow their maintenance, growth, proliferation and differentiation. The encapsulated cells may be prepared by mixing viable cells with a solution of chitosan, encapsulating the resultant mixture in a thermoplastic semipermeable membrane, and causing the chitosan to precipitate such as by changing the pH to form the core matrix. Alternatively, the chitosan in solution is precipitated to form the core matrix containing cells, and the core matrix is encapsulated in a semipermeable membrane. Cells encapsulated include neurosecretory cell lines, .beta.-cell-derived cells lines, fibroblasts, myocytes and glial cells.

    Abstract: A method of producing a microencapsulated pharmaceutical formulation is disclosed comprising causing a dye to be attached to the surface of pharmaceutical particles or particle clusters and applying a source of radiant energy to the dye in the presence of a liquid polymeric or polymerisable material so as to cause the material to cross-link, producing a conformal layer of cross-linked polymer on the particulate surfaces. Preferably, the polymer provides an immuno-protective layer around the particles, while allowing therapeutic components to exit the microcapsules. Microencapsulated pharmaceutical formulations and their medical use are also disclosed, especially for the treatment of diabetes by encapsulating insulin secreting cells.

    Abstract: Vehicles containing cells for implanting in the tissue of an individual are prepared having cells dispersed in a particulate, essentially non cross-linked chitosan core matrix that is enclosed within a semipermeable membrane. The cells are entrapped between chitosan particles of the core matrix and there is essentially no interfacial cross-linking between the core matrix and the membrane. The core matrix provides a physical support for viable cells within the vehicle such that the cells are evenly dispersed throughout the core matrix so as to allow their maintenance, growth, proliferation and differentiation. The vehicle can be prepared by mixing viable cells with a solution of chitosan, encapsulating the resultant mixture in a semipermeable membrane and causing the chitosan to precipitate such as by changing the pH to form the core matrix. Alternatively, the chitosan is precipitated to form the core matrix containing cells and then the core matrix is encapsulated in a semipermeable membrane. Cells within the core matrix may be neurosecretory cell lines, .beta.-cell-derived cells lines, fibroblasts, myocytes and glial cells.

    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for controlling cell distribution within an implantable bioartificial organ by exposing the cells to a treatment that inhibits cell proliferation, promotes cell differentiation, or affects cell attachment to a growth surface within the bioartificial organ. Such treatments include (1) genetically manipulating cells, (2) exposing the cells to a proliferation-inhibiting compound or a differentiation-inducing compound or removing the cells from exposure to a proliferation-stimulating compound or a differentiation-inhibiting compound; exposing the cells to irradiation, and (3) modifying a growth surface of the bioartificial organ with extracellular matrix molecules, molecules affecting cell proliferation or adhesion, or an inert scaffold, or a combination thereof. These treatments may be used in combination. Cells can be transformed with a proliferation-promoting gene such as the oncogene, SV40, linked to a regulatable promoter such as the Mx1 promoter, the promotor is activated in vitro to express the gene to result in cell proliferation, and the promotor is inactivated before or after insertion of the cells in the bioartificial organ to inhibit expression of the gene to reduce or stop cell proliferation in vivo. The promoter can be reactivated in vivo to again express the gene to result in further cell proliferation. The gene may be a proliferation-suppressing gene such as p53 gene or RB gene, or a differentiation-inducing gene such as high mobility group chromosomal protein 14. Inhibiting gene expression in vitro causes cell proliferation, and inducing gene expression reduces or stops cell proliferation in vivo.

    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed to provide hybrid, modular systems for the constitutive delivery of appropriate dosages of active factor to a subject and, in some instances, to specific anatomical regions of the subject. The systems include a cell reservoir containing living cells capable of secreting an active agent, which is preferably adapted for implantation within the body of the subject and further includes at least one semipermeable membrane, whereby the transplanted cells can be nourished by nutrients transported across the membrane while at the same time protected from immunological, bacterial, and viral assault. The systems further include a pumping means, which can be implantable or extracorporeal, for drawing a body fluid from the subject into the cell reservoir and for actively transporting the secreted biological factors from the cell reservoir to a selected region of the subject.

    Abstract: A bioartificial extracellular matrix for use in tissue regeneration or replacement is provided by derivatizing a three-dimensional hydrogel matrix with a cell adhesive extracellular matrix protein or cell adhesive peptide fragment of the protein. Preferably, derivatizing is by covalent immobilization of a cell adhesive peptide fragment having the amino acid sequence, ArgGlyAsp, TyrIleGlySerArg or IleLysValAlaVal. Cartilage or tendon can be regenerated by implanting a matrix containing an adhesive peptide fragment that favors chondrocyte invasion. The matrix can be pre-seeded with cells, and tissue can be reconstituted in vitro and then implanted. A cell-seeded matrix can be encapsulated in a semi-permeable membrane to form a bioartificial organ. An agarose hydrogel matrix having an agarose concentration of 0.5-1.25% (w/v) and an average pore radius between 120 nm and 290 nm is preferred. A nerve guidance channel for use in regenerating severed nerve is prepared containing a tubular semi-permeable membrane having openings adapted to receive ends of a severed nerve, and an inner lumen containing the hydrogel matrix having a bound cell adhesive peptide fragment through which the nerve can regenerate.
