Abstract

Cell microencapsulation is a technique to treat a wide range of diseases through the continuous and controlled delivery of therapeutic products. This technique can also treat multiple diseases in the absence of immunosuppression. Over the past few years, the quality of life of patients has improved remarkably as a direct result of microencapsulation technology, as this technology eliminates the requirement of an immunosuppressant. However, much additional research needs to be conducted in order to commercialize and clinically apply more widely this life-saving technology.
