Stem cell encapsulation as a preconditioning treatment. (A) Liquid core/solid shell encapsulation promotes aggregate formation and provides mass transport of biomolecules and immune isolation. (B) Stem cell encapsulation in nonadhesive hydrogels promotes aggregate formation and provides mass transport of biomolecules and immune isolation. (C) Stem cell encapsulation in adhesive hydrogels (i.e., containing integrin- and MMP-binding sites) promotes stem cell adhesion and provides mass transport of biomolecules and immune isolation.
