1 We developed a microfluidic encapsulation system that generates synthetic poly(ethylene glycol)-based microgels with smaller diameters (310 +- 14 mum) that improve encapsulated islet insulin responsiveness over alginate capsules and allow transplant within vascularized tissue spaces, thereby reducing islet mass requirements and graft volumes.
