Abstract

This article summarizes those research activities in the area of artificial cells which are related to medicine and biotechnology. This includes the applications of artificial cells in: (1) chronic renal failure, (2) drug poisoning, (3) aluminium and iron removal, (4) fulminant hepatic failure, (5) immunosorbent for direct blood perfusion, (6) enzyme therapy and metabolic function replacement, (7) immobilized cell cultures for Bioartificial Organs, (8) blood substitutes, (9) microencapsulation, (10) biotechnology and other areas.
