Co-encapsulation and co-transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells reduces pericapsular fibrosis and improves encapsulated islet survival and function when allografted

Pericapsular fibrotic overgrowth (PFO) is associated with poor survival of encapsulated islets. A strategy to combat PFO is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). MSC have anti-inflammatory properties and their potential can be enhanced by stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines. This study inv...
