Yes - "Cell in a Box" $NVLX The live-cell en

The live-cell encapsulation technology employed by Nuvilex is a way to enclose living cells in protective “cocoons” about the size of the head of a pin - we do not encapsulate drugs, but living cells.  Each capsule can enclose approximately 10,000 cells; this number can differ depending upon the size of the cells encapsulated.    The cell encapsulation technology used by Nuvilex can be classified as a “platform” upon which treatments for different indications may be built.

Depending on the type of cells used, the encapsulated cells can be employed in developing treatments for serious, debilitating and even deadly diseases.  Nuvilex’s primary interests in the use of the live-cell encapsulation technology are for the development of treatments for various cancers and for diabetes.

Our live-cell encapsulation differs from that done by others in that the capsules that enclose the cells are made primarily of cellulose whereas others use substances such as alginate (a seaweed derivative), agarose, or chitosan, to name three.  Because of this, the capsules are very robust and can withstand various external forces and this allows them to be implanted using needles or catheters without damage.  Also, because they are made principally of cellulose, the capsules are essentially bio-inert in humans, so they do not degrade even after being present in the body for over two years.
