Abstract
Despite the poor photochemical stability of capsules walls, polyacrylate is one of the most successful polymers for microencapsulation. To improve polyacrylate performance, the combined use of different acrylate-based polymers could be exploited. Herein butyl methacrylate (BUMA)-based lattices were obtained via free radical polymerization in water by adding (i) methacrylic acid (MA)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) and (ii) methacrylamide (MAC) respectively, as an aqueous phase in Pickering emulsions, thanks to both the excellent polymer shells' stability and the high encapsulation efficiency. A series of BUMA_MA_MMA terpolymers with complex macromolecular structures and BUMA_MAC linear copolymers were synthesized and used as dispersing media of an active material. Rate and yield of encapsulation, active substance adsorption onto the polymer wall, capsule morphology, shelf-life and controlled release were investigated. The effectiveness of the prepared BUMA-based microcapsules was demonstrated: BUMA-based terpolymers together with the modified ones (BUMA_MAC) led to slow (within ca. 60 h) and fast (in around 10 h) releasing microcapsules, respectively.

Abstract
A functional immunoadsorption wall for removal of beta-2-microglobulin has been made by partially incomplete two-stage copolymerization of acrylamide with immunoadsorbent. However, a substantial amount of immunoadsorbent needs to be flushed away after the copolymerization process. Thus, to enhance the utilization efficiency of immunoadsorbent, the flushed-away immunoadsorbent was further recovered, and the copolymerization was conducted in series to produce three consecutive immunoadsorption walls in this study. Preliminary removal tests show that similar removal patterns were obtained for these immunoadsorption walls. Although it is not timely to conclude that a clinically applicable immunoadsorption wall has taken shape, the development of a partially incomplete two-stage polymerization method and its associated techniques indeed provide a good basis for large-scale manufacturing immunoadsorption walls.

Abstract
We have developed "Cytomedicine," which consists of functional cells entrapped in semipermeable polymer, and previously reported that APA microcapsules could protect the entrapped cells from injury by cellular immune system. However, microencapsulated cells were not protected from humoral immune system. Here, we developed a novel APA microcapsule, in which APA microbeads (APA(Ba) microbeads) were modified to contain a barium alginate hydrogel within their centers in an attempt to make it more difficult for antibody and complement to permeate the microcapsules. The permeability of APA(Ba) microbeads was clearly less than that of APA microcapsules, presumably due to the presence of barium alginate hydrogel. Cells encapsulated within APA(Ba) microbeads were protected against treatment with xenogeneic anti-serum. Furthermore, murine pancreatic beta-cells encapsulated in APA(Ba) microbeads remained viable and continued to secrete insulin in response to glucose. Therefore, APA(Ba) microbeads may be a useful carrier for developing anti-complement device for cytomedical therapy.

Abstract
For a number of applications stability of microcapsules is a critical factor. Since the maintenance of polyelectrolyte complexes depends considerably on the ion composition we tested the physical properties of barium alginate capsules and searched for conditions to improve stability by a multilayer coating with polyethylenimine (PEI) and polyacrylic acid (PAA). Mechanical stability and diameters were determined in barium alginate capsules and compared with multilayer capsules. Multilayer coating resulted in smaller capsules than barium complexing alone. The difference was more pronounced when CaCl2 was used instead of NaCl during coating. Barium alginate capsules and application of CaCl2 during coating led to continuous pressure profiles, whereas NaCl resulted in bursting at a defined pressure, indicating the additional contribution to mechanical stability by the outer layers. After 7 d culture, mechanical stability of coated capsules decreased in RPMI and NaCl but was most pronounced in sodium citrate. The capsule diameter increased in sodium citrate, less pronounced in NaCl and was significantly different to RPMI and double distilled water. During long-term culture in RPMI, the diameter increased and mechanical stability decreased significantly. Multilayer coating improved mechanical stability which was impeded most in sodium citrate, to a lesser extent by NaCl and RPMI even after long-term exposure.

Abstract
Entrapment of mammalian cells in physical membranes has been practiced since the early 1950s when it was originally introduced as a basic research tool. The method has since been developed based on the promise of its therapeutic usefulness in tissue transplantation. Encapsulation physically isolates a cell mass from an outside environment and aims to maintain normal cellular physiology within a desired permeability barrier. Numerous encapsulation techniques have been developed over the years. These techniques are generally classified as microencapsulation (involving small spherical vehicles and conformally coated tissues) and macroencapsulation (involving larger flat-sheet and hollow-fiber membranes). This review is intended to summarize techniques of cell encapsulation as well as methods for evaluating the performance of encapsulated cells. The techniques reviewed include microencapsulation with polyelectrolyte complexation emphasizing alginate-polylysine capsules, thermoreversible gelation with agarose as a prototype system, interfacial precipitation and interfacial polymerization, as well as the technology of flat sheet and hollow fiber-based macroencapsulation. Four aspects of encapsulated cells that are critical for the success of the technology, namely the capsule permeability, mechanical properties, immune protection and biocompatibility, have been singled out and methods to evaluate these properties were summarized. Finally, speculations regarding future directions of cell encapsulation research and device development are included from the authors' perspective.

Abstract
Currently, there are three types of devices for a bioartificial pancreas; microencapsulation, an extravascular diffusion chamber, and an intravascular diffusion chamber. The purpose of the present study was to provide a new extracellular matrix hydrogel for the devices of extra- and intravascular diffusion chamber types. As the sol-gel transition of this hydrogel is reversible, refilling of islets in vivo will be possible without a severe traumatic procedure. The hydrogel was produced from a polyacrylamide derivative carrying thiol groups synthesized by radical copolymerization of acrylamide and N,N'-bis-acrylcystamine, followed by reduction of the disulfide bonds in the copolymer. This water-soluble copolymer was used to entrap hamster islets by re-formation of disulfide bonds on the copolymer to produce a hydrogel. The formed hydrogel was easily reliquefied by reduction of the disulfide crosslinks to thiols. Insulin release from the islet-entrapped hydrogel continued for more than 1 month when examined in vitro. A static glucose stimulation test for the entrapped islets exhibited an increased insulin release.

Abstract
Cytomedical therapy for human interleukin-6 transgenic mice (hIL-6 Tgm) was implemented by the intraperitoneal injection of alginate-poly(L)lysine-alginate (APA) membranes microencapsulating SK2 hybridoma cells (APA-SK2 cells) which secrete anti-hIL-6 monoclonal antibodies (SK2 mAb). IgG1 plasmacytosis in the hIL-6 Tgm was suppressed by a single injection of APA-SK2 cells, and the survival time of these mice was remarkably prolonged. The viable cell number and the SK2 mAb-secretion of APA-SK2 cells increased for at least one month both under culture conditions and in allogeneic recipients (in vivo). Moreover, SK2 mAb which were secreted from APA-SK2 cells injected into allogeneic recipients was detected in serum at high concentrations; 3-5 mg/ml from day 14 to day 50 post-injection. In contrast, the injection of free SK2 cells had no therapeutic effect on hIL-6 Tgm. These results strongly suggest that APA membranes microencapsulating cells which were modified to secrete molecules useful for the treatment of a disorder were effective as an in vivo long-term delivery system of bioactive molecules, as 'cytomedicine'.

Abstract
We have developed microcapsules using sodium alginate (SA) and Poly-L-Lysine (PLL). A factorial design method of screening was chosen to study influences of different experimental parameters on size and stability of the capsules. We found that air flow affects initial size of the capsules significantly, while the molecular weight (MW) of PLL and incubation time have a positive impact on the expansion when capsules are incubated in sodium citrate (SC). When the capsules were continuously shaken in an attempt to mimic in vivo environmental conditions, those capsules made with optimal parameters (0.1% PLL, 42,000 MW, incubated for 6 minutes; 1.5% SA, incubated for 4 minutes; SC bath 4 minutes; 25# needle; air flow 14L/min) were still intact after 30 days and not totally ruptured until 90 days, while those developed with less strict parameters were ruptured within 2 hours in 50%. We also encapsulated human pituitary adenoma cells using PLL of 80,000 MW and cultured them for 9 days. Adenoma cells, both encapsulated or non-encapsulated, secreted the same amount of hormones. Our preliminary study suggests that selecting optimal combinations of experimental parameters is essential in developing durable microcapsules, which may be potentially used for pituitary transplantation in vivo.

Abstract
Controlled drug release in the central nervous system through an implantable polymeric vector has been developed in recent years. For this purpose, different polymeric devices composed primarily of synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable polymers have been investigated. The first polymeric devices developed were macroscopic implants (monolithic devices), which required open surgery for implantation. Microencapsulation methods, however, allow the production of microparticles or nanoparticles loaded with neuroactive drugs. Because of their size, these micro- or nanoparticles may be easily implanted by stereotaxy in discrete, precise, and functional areas of the brain without causing damage to the surrounding tissue. Presently, this method is most frequently applied in the fields of neuro-oncology and neurodegenerative diseases, but neurologically, the potential applications of drug targeting by stereotactic implantation of drug-loaded particles are legion.

Abstract
The biocompatibility of microcapsules made by the co-acervation of alginate and poly(l-lysine) (PLL) was enhanced by coating the surface of these microcapsules with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel. The hydrogel was formed by an interfacial photopolymerization technique using visible light from an argon ion laser. The light absorbing chromophore, eosin Y, was immobilized on the microcapsule surface. This restricted the formation of the PEG hydrogel to the surface of the microcapsule. The presence of the PEG gel on the surface was confirmed by fluorescent dextran entrapment, by direct visualization after dissolution of the underlying membrane and by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. The biological response of such microcapsules was evaluated by intraperitoneal implantation in mice. The PEG-coated microcapsules were found to be less inflammatory and were seen not to elicit a fibrotic response, as was the case with alginate-PLL microcapsules.
