Incorporation of active cell-free expression lysates in chitosan coated alginate microcapsules

Farah A. Merchant, Flutur Latifi, Djellza Sylaj…·Steven A. Hoang-Phou

This paper demonstrates that chitosan-coated alginate microcapsules can protect cell-free gene expression lysates and proteins from degradation in the GI tract and enable controlled release in simulated intestinal conditions.
