Abstract

The invention features an implantable cell device. The device includes a membrane defining and enclosing a chamber; a distance body, within the chamber, for reducing the diffusion distance for a biological active factor to or across the membrane; and a support scaffold, within the chamber, for increasing the cell support surface area per unit volume of the chamber for distributing cells.
