Title:
OXYGEN-GENERATING SCAFFOLD AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/092962
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oxygen-generating scaffold comprising a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-CaO2 ring structure and a polycaprolactone (PCL) membrane and a method of producing the same. Using the oxygen-generating scaffold according to the present invention makes it possible to overcome the loss of function of islet cells due to apoptosis and necrosis that are caused by insufficient oxygen supply due to encapsulation of islets, and to enhance the survival rate of islets and insulin secretion function with respect to glucose stimulation. In addition, the system is simple, and the risks are relatively low since the external loss of islets can be prevented by injecting the islets through a side thereof. Therefore, the present invention can be widely used in biomedical technology fields such as diabetes treatment using bioartificial islets.
