Resum:	The combination of protein-coated graphene oxide (GO) and microencapsulation technology has moved a step forward in the challenge of improving long-term alginate encapsulated cell survival and sustainable therapeutic protein release, bringing closer its translation from bench to the clinic. Although this new approach in cell microencapsulation represents a great promise for long-term drug delivery, previous studies have been performed only with encapsulated murine CC myoblasts genetically engineered to secrete murine erythropoietin (CC-EPO) within 160 µm diameter hybrid alginate protein-coated GO microcapsules implanted into syngeneic mice. Here, we show that encapsulated CC-EPO myoblasts survive longer and release more therapeutic protein by doubling the micron diameter of hybrid alginate-protein-coated GO microcapsules to 380 µm range. Encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) genetically modified to secrete erythropoietin (D1-MSCs-EPO) within 380 µm-diameter hybrid alginate-protein-coated GO microcapsules confirmed this improvement in survival and sustained protein release in vitro. This improved behavior is reflected in the hematocrit increase of allogeneic mice implanted with both encapsulated cell types within 380 µm diameter hybrid alginate-protein-coated GO microcapsules, showing lower immune response with encapsulated MSCs. These results provide a new relevant step for the future clinical application of protein-coated GO on cell microencapsulation.
