Encapsulated cells offer enormous potential for the treatment of human disease. The "Artificial barriers" which protect living cells from the hostile immunological environment of the recipient, are an important component in transplantation of human and animal tissue. "Cell Encapsulation Technology and Therapeutics" features in-depth reviews of all major cell encapsulation systems, as well as underlying engineering principles and mass transfer theory. The book includes detailed descriptions of chemical properties of encapsulation matericals, purification, biocompativility issues and experimental protocols. The broad application spectrum of cell encapsulation is highlighted with chapters on topics ranging from artificial organs such as pancreas, parathyroid, liver and kidney, to central nervous system applications, hemopholia, growth hormone, lysosomal storage disease, the encapsulation of embryos and plant cells, as well as advanced cell culture in bioreactors. "Cell Encapsulation Technology and Therapeutics" is a comprehensive reference work written by a team of international experts. In addition to being a source of practical information for scientists working in the field of cell encapsulation, it will interest biotechnological and pharmaceutical researchers.
