      Realistically, some of these newly developed tools might not have viable applications and could end up on the ‘technology shelf’ in the future.94 Encapsulated hepatocytes have been used as a model for cell and gene therapy.98 Encapsulated transfected cells that secrete the anti-angiogenic factor endostatin have further shown promising in the animal models of malignant brain tumours.99

      However, free hepatocytes transplantation requires immunosuppressive agents, which may cause severe adverse effects. Thus, bioencapsulated hepatocytes transplantation has been studied extensively [10–32]. Transplantation of bioencapsulated hepatocytes prevents the xenogeneic hepatocytes from immunorejection [12].
