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. …”

Modeling the Impact of Electrolyte Flow on Heat Management in a Li-Ion Convection Cell by Gao, Weiran, Drake, Javit, Brushett, Fikile R

“…We show, through physics-based electrothermal modeling and dimensional analysis of a single, planar LIB cell, that electrolyte convection can simultaneously draw heat from the cell and suppress heat generation from entropy change, charge-transfer, and ohmic losses, and that the cell temperature rise can be effectively mitigated when heat removal matches or exceeds heat generation. …”
