Abstract

Compared to other forms of treatment, cell therapy is one of the most effective treatments. The fact that injecting allogeneic cells into patients stimulates immune responses can greatly affect the outcome of cell therapy. In recent years, biomaterial-based therapy has been considered for the treatment of urinary tract diseases. The use of cellular encapsulation techniques or drugs can be a good way to ensure that allogeneic or foreign cells are protected against immune responses, and these techniques are used to rebuild, repair, repair, and replace parts in organs such as the urinary system. Much research has been done to design a drug delivery system for the treatment of urinary tract infections. Although encapsulation has paved the way for cell therapy and drug delivery, the stimulation of the host’s immune response by implanted and encapsulated cells remains an unresolved issue. From an immunological point of view, the use of immunomodulatory biomaterials may be appropriate to prevent side effects. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
