Encapsulation and Immobilization Techniques

  • Chapter
Cell Encapsulation Technology and Therapeutics

Abstract

Cells are generally found in an immobilized state in natural environments. In biotechnology, immobilization provides protection to the cell from unfavorable conditions, washout, shear, and immunological rejection. Moreover, immobilization provides for an organization of the cells, enabling synergistic interactions between adjacent cells. Multicellular organisms result from higher levels of cell organization and structure that result from a form of cell immobilization. It is therefore not surprising that scientists and engineers seriously consider cell immobilization as a means of solving technological problems involving the handling and processing of cellular materials.
