Microencapsulation of recombinant “universal” cells with immunoprotective membranes is an alternate approach to somatic gene therapy. Therapeutic products secreted by these can be delivered different patients without immunosuppression or genetic modification the host's cells. The encapsulation mammalian cell types (epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and myoblasts) compared among three alginate-based microcapsules: (1) calcium-linked alginate microcapsules a solubilized core...
An alternative and potentially cost-effective approach to somatic gene therapy is engineer a universal cell line secreting the desired product suitable for implantation into different patients without immune rejection. Encapsulating these cells in immunoprotective alginate microcapsules showed that this was effective treating murine models of human diseases. We now report also delivering recombinant products large animals. Canine MDCK encapsulated were able deliver growth hormone...
Victoria Hand Project (VHP) is a Canadian charity with mission to provide 3D printed prosthetic arms people in-need across the world, by partnering care providers. This article explores journey of VHP, sharing insights, lessons learned, ongoing directions, and impact printing on for upper-limb amputation. Benefits such as affordability customization are explored, well challenges encountered, including quality control steep learning curve associated working in digital space. Through this...
