Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease with low PTH, mostly seen as a consequence of neck surgery. Current management is the prescription of calcium and vitamin D, but the definitive treatment is parathyroid allotransplantation, which frequently triggers an immune response, thus cannot achieve the expected success. To overcome this problem, encapsulation of allogeneic cells is the most promising method. By optimizing the standard alginate cell encapsulation technique with parathyroid cells under high-voltage application, the authors reduced the size of parathyroid-encapsulated beads and evaluated these samples in vitro and in vivo
.
Methods
Parathyroid cells were isolated, and standard-sized alginate macrobeads were prepared without any electrical field application, while microbeads in smaller sizes ( |
