EnduraCell™Immunoprotective Cell Encapsulation for Long-Term Delivery of therapeutic cells and proteins without systemic immunosuppression

EnduraCell™ is a durable, biocompatible hydrogel encapsulation platform engineered to provide immune shielding and sustained function for cell-based therapies. Designed for applications where cellular integration is not required, EnduraCell™ maintains the viability and therapeutic output of encapsulated cells over extended durations—without the need for systemic immunosuppression or surgical retrieval.

Primary Benefits of EnduraCell™

Ideal for cell therapies where the output, not the integration, is the goal.

Immune-Isolated Cell Function

Protects cells that produce proteins or enzymes for therapeutic use.

Long-Term Protection

No retrieval or systemic immunosuppression required.

Sustained Molecular Delivery

Maintains continuous, localized release of therapeutic agents

Real-World Applications

Built for long-term delivery of therapeutic proteins and enzymes, EnduraCell™ enables durable, immune-protected treatments that don’t require surgical retrieval, making it ideal for chronic conditions managed through sustained cellular output.

  • Diabetes Therapy

    Used to encapsulate insulin-producing cells in a diabetic dog, eliminating daily injections with no immune rejection.

  • Liver Disease

    Human hepatocyte spheroids encapsulated in EnduraCell™ sustained albumin secretion and CYP activity in vivo for 30+ days, outperforming alginate and unencapsulated controls.

  • Hormone & Enzyme Replacement

    By protecting cells from immune attack while allowing the diffusion of oxygen, nutrients, and therapeutic proteins, EnduraCell™ enables safer, longer-lasting cell therapies for chronic conditions.

  • “This landmark study with EnduraCell™ showed that durable, safe, and effective cell therapy for diabetes is possible, laying the foundation for Likarda’s Core-Shell Spherification® platform.”
