1059-P: Additive Manufactured Macroencapsulation Devices for Islet Cell Replacement Therapy

Volume: 69
Published: Jun 1, 2020
Abstract
Islet encapsulation devices can induce a Foreign Body Response (FBR) and the formation of a dense avascular fibrotic capsule. This FBR is heightened when the device has a smooth surface as fibrous tissue is unable to adhere, instigating a substantial immunological reaction, islet death and ultimately implant failure. In this study, we examine whether additive manufactured multiscale porous devices promote optimal tissue integration and...
