PEG HYDROGELS FUNCTIONALIZED WITH GLUCAGON AND RGDS-TETRAPEPTIDE AND CONTAINING STEM CELLS FOR ISLET COATING

摘要

The present invention is related to a method for the production of coated cells to be transplanted; preferably islets encapsulated within functionalized PEG hydrogel coating comprising glucagon-like peptide-1(7-37),arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-serine cell adhesion peptide (RGDS) and stem cells.
