    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: 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: Devices and methods for transmitting neural signals from a proximal stump of a transected nerve to a prosthetic apparatus are disclosed employing microelectrodes, preferably conductive fiber networks, capable of sensing electrical signals from a nerve and transmitting such signals to a prosthetic apparatus; and a semipermeable guidance channel disposed about the microelectrodes. The channels include an opening adapted to receive the proximal stump of a transected nerve, such that the channel promotes the growth of the stump and the formation of an electrical connection between the transected nerve and the microelectrode.

    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.
