Bridging scale-up to transplantation: pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic islet encapsulation in emulsion-generated high concentration alginate beads
Pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic islet-like cell clusters (SC-islets) have emerged as potential cellular therapy for type 1 diabetes. While SC-islets can theoretically be produced in bioreactors to meet transplantation needs of many recipients per batch, biomanufacturing and translational challenges remain. SC-islet can be cultured in suspension using stirred tank or vertical wheel…
