Abstract

The development of stable, functional bioartificial constructs based on transformed insulin-secreting cells that can be amplified in culture thus relaxing the cell availability constrain has been investigated. The system used consists of mouse insulinoma βTC3 cells entrapped in calcium APA beads. A perfusion bioreactor and radiofrequency coil were developed for maintaining entrapped cells in the long-term and for carrying out non-invasive NMR studies of cellular biochemistry.
