Transplantation of macroencapsulated pancreatic islets within semipermeable membranes is a promising approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Encapsulation beneficially isolates the implants from the host immune system. Deleteriously however, it also limits oxygen supply to the cells. This creates challenges in loading islets at the amount and density required to meet the practical demands of clinical usage. To overcome this challenge, we investigated the feasibility of using macroporous scaffolds made of an oxygen-permeable
