Mice transplanted with free islets then rapidly lost normoglycemia and became diabetic: the median normoglycemia time was 6?days. measurements in static incubation assays. Islets and MSC were coencapsulated in new hydrogel microspheres composed of calcium alginate and covalently crosslinked polyethylene glycol. Encapsulated cells were transplanted intraperitoneally in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice and glycemia was monitored. Islet […]
