weight drugs on living cell surfaces. The encapsulation of islets inside a cell layer
illustrates the versatility of this approach. The concept of controlling the host
defense response against a living cell graft is likely to lead to important steps
forward in cellular therapies. Various types of functional cells can be derived from
pluripotent stem cells, including ESCs, iPSCs, and MSCs for use in cell replace-
ment therapies. Our method is likely to be a key technology for the control of both
acute and chronic host reactions and facilitation of graft adaptation in patients.
