Abstract

The present invention provides high mechanical strength amphiphilic polymer networks and implantable biological devices that are capable of encasing and , thus, immunoisolating biological material from the immunological response of a host individual. The present invention also provides methods for the formati on of the amphiphilic networks and implantable biological devices. The present invention also provides a method for the treatment of type I diabetes mellit us comprising the steps of encasing a sufficient amount of islet of Langerhans cells within said biological device, wherein said biological device is capab le of immunoisolating said encased islet cells upon implantation into an individual; implanting said biological device into a diabetic host individua l; allowing said implanted biological device to remain implanted said diabetic individual for a time sufficient to normalize the blood glucose level in sai d diabetic individual.
