An effective device for generating alginate microcapsules
An alternative approach to somatic gene therapy is to deliver the therapeutic protein by implanting genetically modified cells that could overexpress the gene of interest. Microencapsulation devices were designed to protect cells from host rejection and prevent the foreign cells from spreading while allowing protein secretion. Alginate microcapsules form a semi-permeable structure that is suita...
متن کاملIntraperitoneal distribution of alginate microcapsules in mice
Introduction: Improved drug delivery mechanisms for the treatment of residual peritoneal cancer cells following cytoreduction surgery are needed. Alginate microcapsules are a potentially useful mechanism for delivery of bioengineered cells, but when injected into the peritoneum, their distribution and properties are not well described. Methods: Aliquots of 300, 600 or 1200 microcapsules were in...
متن کامل"Artificial spores" - hybrid alginate microcapsules with encapsulated yeast cells
The present work describes the fabrication, structure and functional characterization of composite microcapsules containing encapsulated viable yeast cells, fluorescently labeled liposomes and magnetic nanoparticles embedded in a calcium alginate matrix produced by ink-jet printing. The proliferation of the encapsulated cells under favorable conditions (presence of nutrients, temperature) is us...
متن کاملNovel calcium-gelled, alginate-pectin beverage reduced energy intake in nondieting overweight and obese women: interactions with dietary restraint status.
BACKGROUND Foods containing strong-gelling fibers may provide a safe and efficacious strategy for reducing food intake by stimulating endogenous satiety signaling. OBJECTIVE A novel, 2-part beverage, consisting of alginate-pectin and calcium components, that forms a stable, fibrous gel in the stomach was tested to determine its effects on subjective satiety and food intake in overweight and o...
متن کاملPolymethylmethacrylate Coated Alginate Matrix Microcapsules for Controlled Release of Diclofenac Sodium
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) coated microcapsules of diclofenac sodium (DFS) were prepared by a modified water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion solvent evaporation method using sodium alginate (SAL) as a matrix material in the internal aqueous phase (W1). Their performance with respect to controlled release of the drug in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) wer...
