Abstract
Background: In recent studies, we have incorporated bile acid and polyelectrolytes into pancreatic β-cell microcapsules and examined their cell viability and microcapsule morphology using various encapsulating methods.
Objective: This study aimed to incorporate 3 colloids; ultrasonic gel (USG; 1%), polystyrenic sulphate (PSS; 0.1%) and polyallylamine (PAA; 3%) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA; 4%) with the polymer sodium alginate (SA; 1.2%) and the copolymer poly-L-ornithine (PLO; 1%), and using a refined vibrational jet-flow microencapsulating method, test the microcapsule properties, and cell viability without or with UDCA.
Method: The pancreatic β-cells NIT-1 were encapsulated using concentric nozzles and a refined method using voltage > 600 mv and frequency of 1750 Hz with syringe flow of 1.5 ml/min (core) and formulation solution of 2.1 ml/min, with a mixture of SA, PLO, USG, PSS and PAA without UDCA (control) or with UDCA (test). Both formulations and microcapsules were examined for surface composition and thermal and chemical biocompatibilities. The microencapsulated cells were examined for bioenergetics and production of inflammatory biomarkers. UDCA distribution within the microcapsules was also examined.
Results: Using our method, viability remained low after the addition of PSS, PAA and USG, while the incorporation of UDCA enhanced cell viability, and thermal stability was maintained.
Conclusion: Our refined microencapsulating method, when incorporating polystyrenic sulphate, polyallylamine, the gel and UDCA at 0.1:3:1:4 ratio respectively, produced stable microcapsules suggesting potential applications in cell microencapsulation and diabetes treatment.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
