Abstract
as measured by a lack of cellularity or fibrotic ring in the surrounding tissue and no cellular infiltration into the microsphere. This study illustrates the potential of AHA microspheres as a degradable cell delivery system with superior encapsulated cell viability and biocompatibility with the surrounding tissue.
