Chitosan–Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone Hydrogels as Candidate for Islet Immunoisolation: In Vitro Biocompatibility Evaluation
The success of immunoisolation devices for islet transplantation depends on the nature of semipermeable membranes, which permit the crossover of micronutrients, glucose, and insulin and prevent the entry of immunocytes and other transplant rejection mechanisms. In the present study we examined the p...
