Diabetes Treatment: Cold‐Responsive Nanocapsules Enable the Sole‐Cryoprotectant‐Trehalose Cryopreservation of β Cell–Laden Hydrogels for Diabetes Treatment (Small 50/2019)

In article number 1904290, Gang Zhao, Yuanjin Zhao, and co-workers propose a novel cryopreservation method for β cells by combining cold-responsive nanocapsules and alginate hydrogel encapsulation. Great cell viability is obtained without using any toxic cryoprotectant and the cryopreserved β cell-laden hydrogels can be transplanted into diabetic rats for blood glucose regulation.
