  • IMPLANTABLE CELL ENCAPSULATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20170072074
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for implantation of live cells in a subject. The apparatus includes an implantable immunoisolation device, which includes (a) a chamber, which contains the live cells; (b) an inner membrane layer, which is disposed at an external surface of the chamber, and which comprises a selective membrane that is permeable to nutrients; and (c) an outer hydrogel layer, which comprises a hydrogel, and which is attached to and coats an outer surface of the inner membrane layer. Other embodiments are also described.

  • APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING CELL GROWTH IN AN IMPLANTABLE SENSOR
    Publication number: 20150352229
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided that contains cells for implantation into a human subject. The apparatus includes a substantially non-degradable three-dimensional scaffold having surfaces to which the cells are attached, and a hydrogel, which is attached to the cells. The scaffold, the cells, and the hydrogel are arranged such that the cells are sandwiched in spaces between the hydrogel and the surfaces of the scaffold, thereby allowing mobility and proliferation of the cells in the spaces between the hydrogel and the surfaces of the scaffold, and preventing the mobility and the proliferation of the cells to locations outside of the spaces between the hydrogel and the surfaces of the scaffold.

  • Implantable optical glucose sensing
    Patent number: 9037205
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for detecting an analyte, configured to be implanted in a body of a subject. The apparatus includes an optical fiber having a distal portion and also a membrane permeable to the analyte. The membrane is coupled to the distal portion of the fiber and surrounding a sampling region at least in part, by being fitted over the distal portion of the fiber. Other embodiments are also described.
