Materials approaches for next-generation encapsulated cell therapies by Krishnan, Siddharth R., Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G.

“…However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. Encapsulating cells in engineered biomaterials capable of excluding components of the host immune system while allowing for the transport of therapeutic proteins, oxygen, nutrients, metabolites, and waste products represents a potential solution. …”

Injectable transplantation system for anticancer in-situ cell therapy by Sheng, Nan.

“…The expression of a series of cytokines is switched on or up-regulated to induce the apoptosis of tumor cells. The different cell viability tests including live-dead assay, apoptosis test and WST-1 assay suggest that the tumor cells which are cocultured with post 6 hours LPS challenge agarose encapsulated constructs exhibit distinctively decreased levels of cell viability.…”

Semiconductor quantum dots for labeling glycoproteins on cell membrane by Low, Ren Fong.

“…In this report, quantum dots conjugated with 3-aminophenylboronic acids tag are used in imaging sialic acid moieties on the HePG2 hepatic cancer cells. Labeling of cancer cells are enabled due to the affinity of QDs probes towards the carbohydrate enriched coating or sialic acids that are overexpressed in most of the cancer cells. …”
