Improving mechanical stability and density distribution of hepatocyte microcapsules by fibrin clot and gold nano-particles

Bio-artificial livers (BAL) with microencapsulated hepatocytes have the typical limitations in maintaining hepatocyte functions, mechanical stability and uniform perfusion in packed or fluidized-bed bioreactors. We have previously developed microcapsules with enhanced hepatocyte functions. Here we h...
