Hypoxia within subcutaneously implanted macroencapsulation devices limits the viability and functionality of densely loaded islets
IntroductionSubcutaneous macroencapsulation devices circumvent disadvantages of intraportal islet therapy. However, a curative dose of islets within reasonably sized devices requires dense cell packing. We measured internal PO2 of implanted devices, mathematically modeled oxygen availability within...
