Transplantation of Polymer Encapsulated Pc12 Cells: Use of Chitosan as an Immobilization Matrix

Polymer capsules were fabricated to encapsulate PC12 cells within a semipermeable and immunoprotective barrier. The inclusion of precipitated chitosan as an immobilization matrix within the polymer capsules increased the survival and physiological functioning of the PC12 cells. In an initial study,...
