Artificial Cells, Blood Substitutes, and Immobilization Biotechnology. Volume 22 Number 2, 1994.
Abstract
Aims and Scope. This journal covers artificial cells, blood substitutes, and immobilization biotechnology. The emphasis of this journal is to allow for interdisciplinary interactions. Therefore, we welcome approaches based on biotechnology, chemical engineering, medicine, surgery, biomedical engineering, basic medical sciences, chemistry and others. The following areas are particularly welcomed. (1) Immobilized bioreactants including cells culture, microorganisms, enzymes, drugs, receptors, sorbents, immunosorbents and other biologically active molecules. (2) Artificial cells, microcapsules, liposomes, nanoparticles and other carriers. (3) Blood substitutes from fluorocarbon, modified hemoglobin, encapsulated hemoglobin, synthetic heme, recombinant hemoglobin, and others. Chemistry, methods, in-vitro studies, in-vivo evaluations and clinical results. (4) Microencapsulation and other methods of immobilization of cells (e.g. hybridoma, endocrine cells and liver cells, etc.) or microorganisms. Cells immobilized by different approaches. Methods, evaluation, and applications. Cell culture technologies related to immobilization. Hybrid artificial organs based on cell cultures. (5) Enzyme replacement, enzyme therapy, immunosorption, detoxification, hemoperfusion, metabolite conversions and drug delivery. (6) Design, evaluation and clinical application of hemoperfusion, artificial kidneys, plasmapheresis, and other artificial replacements. (7) Synthetic and biological biomaterials related to artificial cells and immobilization biotechnology. Blood compatible materials. Synthesis, biocompatibility, blood compatibility and evaluations. (8) Biotechnologically derived biologically active molecules related to artificial cells and immobilization biotechnology. (9) Drug delivery systems.
