Abstract

This paper proposes a cell-encapsulated core-shell radiopaque hydrogel microfiber for in vivo cell therapy. The microfiber is composed of barium alginate gel containing zirconia particles in the shell and collagen gel encapsulating mesenchymal stem cells in the core. We confirmed that the cells in the fiber secrete paracrine factors to the outside of the fiber. Moreover, we demonstrated the improvement of the renal function of the rats by delivering the fiber into renal arteries. We believe that our fiber would treat incurable diseases including tissue degeneration.
