Figure Legend Snippet: Encapsulated mesenchymal cell biodelivery of GLP-1. Upper left: Human bone marrow-derived, mesenchymal stem cells producing GLP-1 are encapsulated with alginate (capsule diameter 500 to 600 urn, each capsule containing 3200 cells). As the capsules permit the free passage of nutrients, oxygen, and, indeed, smaller molecules, the cells are maintained within the capsules, and can produce and deliver therapeutic peptides to the brain. At the same time, cells transplanted into the brain are protected from the immunological graft -versus-host response. Upper right: The microcapsules are filled into a 1.5 x 1.5 cm-sized bag that is manually sutured from a polypropylene mesh with pores of up to 300 urn. A 5-cm tether for fixation of the implant to the skull surface is applied. CSF can pass through the pores providing the encapsulated cells with nutrients and oxygen. Lower left: The surgical hematoma is evacuated leaving the perihematomal area. Lower right: The mesh bag is implanted into the hematoma cavity, and it is removed 2 weeks after implantation by a second surgeiy. GLP, glucagon-like peptide; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid.
Techniques Used: Derivative Assay, Capsules
