Below, we will refer to two typical cases of MBR application in artificial organ engineering the bioartificial kidney and bioartifidal liver. It should be noted that the clinical impact of the artifidal kidney and liver is quite different. The artificial kidney, in its hollow-fiber modules form, is the most employed hemopurification device. The therapy for chronic renal failure concerns hundreds of thousands of patients all over the dvilized world, making the artificial kidney one of the most diffused biomedical devices on... 

Capsulation of substances in polyelectrolyte microcapsules is a perspective task to make storage and controlled transport systems to be used in chemical technology for substances transport to the reaction zone to create active corrosion prevention coatings, to produce microreactors. These systems can be applied in perfumery or in textile industry to create "smart clothers", in medicine to transport toxic drugs,in tissue and organ engineering. As a result, implementation of remote control over capsule shells permeability to release their contents controllably becomes an actual task that requires shells functionalization.
