CXCL12 polypeptide eluting matrices encapsulating at least one cell are described for use in the treatment of autoimmune disorders.

A humic acid type fruit bagging-free film agent and an application thereof are provided. The humic acid type fruit bagging-free film agent is prepared by: dissolving sodium alginate into water, adding TWEEN-20 and SPAN-20 after stirring evenly, and stirring for mixing to form sodium alginate solution; dissolving humic acid potassium into water, adding glycerin then mixing to form humic acid potassium solution; stirring the sodium alginate solution and the humic acid potassium solution evenly to form agent A; and dissolving calcium chloride into water to obtain agent B. When in use, the agent A is sprayed onto a fruit surface, and then agent B is sprayed. It can not only be antibacterial, anti- freezing and pest-resistant, but also shorten film-forming duration and have better film-forming property. Shading performance is improved, and problems of rough fruit surface, serious rust and dim color caused by using paper bagging can be solved.
