Article Synopsis
- Microencapsulated hepatocytes, specifically hepLL cells, show promise as bioactive agents in liver assist devices and transplantation due to their improved mass transport and microenvironment.
- A roller bottle culture system was developed to efficiently produce these microencapsulated cells, with comparisons to free cells showing enhanced stability and cell function.
- Results indicated that encapsulated hepLL cells had better growth and metabolic functions, suggesting their potential for large-scale cultivation in liver therapies.
