Encapsulated human islets in alginate fiber maintain long-term functionality by Junko Nishida, Takahiro Tsuno, Shigeharu G. Yabe, Tatsuya Kin, Satsuki Fukuda, Fujie Takeda, Jun Shirakawa, Hitoshi Okochi

“…The encapsulated islets cultured with 5.5 mM glucose, but not those with 25 mM glucose, exhibited glucose responsiveness of C-peptide secretion until day 180. We demonstrate that alginate encapsulation enabled human islets to maintain their viability and glucose responsiveness of C-peptide secretion after long-term in vitro culture, potentially for more than for 180 days.…”
