In-vitro characterization of microencapsulated microtissue viability by Chua, Yu Qing

“…Although islet transplantation is an alternative treatment of T1DM without the excessive need of exogenous insulin therapy which is the typical method of treatment, it still has its restrictions such as the lack of donors due to the need of adequate dose of islets, long term immunosuppressive therapy and insulin resistance. The transplantation of immuno-isolated islets is a potential approach to treat T1DM as it enables the transplanted islets to produce insulin to restore normoglycemia without the need of immunosuppression. …”
