Biomaterial in Microencapsulation: How Microencapsulation is Changing the Medicine World

Abstract

Stem cell therapy is one of the novel treatment. Cells possess self-renewal ability and the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages. Cell therapy has been studied in treatment of various diseases and injuries, such as cardiovascular diseases, brain disorders, musculoskeletal defects, osteoarthritis, and skin diseases. The application of cells can be a big challenge in treatment, and they die during transplants because of the unfavorable environments of injured or damaged tissues. A supportive environment can help cell survival, induce bio-activity, and enhance cell retention at the administered sites. Stem cell microencapsulation in biocompatible biomaterials can be a good supportive environment that lets cells grow properly. In this review, we discuss about new materials, their application for microencapsulation and how these materials can alter drug delivery and treatment of diseases. New natural and artificial materials optimize microencapsulation application and can be a novel solution for what scientist struggle with.
