Abstract
The encapsulation of living cells within a semi-permeable matrix is an attractive process for transplanting nonautologous cells by limiting the interaction with the host immune system. The electrohydrodynamic process is a low-cost and high-throughput system to encapsulate cells by means of a static potential. We evaluated the use of this system for cell entrapment by assessing and then manufacturing capsules that had the best dimensions. The effect of different cell densities on the beads was determined to set up the basic parameters of the encapsulation system. The cell viability inside the beads and as a function of release time was observed for their biological response.
