Abstract
Immunoisolation of pancreatic islets is a technology in which islets are encapsulated in semipermeable but immunoprotective polymeric membranes. The technology allows for successful transplantation of insulin producing cells in type I diabetes (T1D) in the absence of immunosuppression. Different approaches of immunoisolation are currently investigated. These approaches involve intravascular devices that are connected to the bloodstream and...
