Figure 7

Model-predicted delay in insulin response and increased hypoxia for encapsulated islets shown as three-dimensional surfaces. Side-by-side comparison of the GSIR response of free and encapsulated islets (both having d = 150 μm; encapsulated islet on the right side) using a 3D surface representation of insulin (height data) and oxygen (color code; blue = high; red = low). The corresponding 2D figure is included for reference (inset).
