T cells are often referred to as the 'guided missiles' of our immune system because of their
capacity to traffic to and accumulate at sites of infection or disease, destroy infected or …

Biomaterial implants are an established part of medical practice, encompassing a broad
range of devices that widely differ in function and structural composition. However, one …

The interactions of the biomaterials with the host immune system is crucial for their
functionality. This book aims to provide the reader with a better understanding of the role of …

Background Immunotherapy consists of activating the patient's immune system to fight
cancer and has the great potential of preventing future relapses thanks to immunological …

Primary and secondary lymphoid organs are tissues that facilitate differentiation of B and T
cells, leading to the induction of adaptive immune responses. These organs are present in …

Scaffolds are an integral part of the regenerative medicine field. The contact of biomaterials
with tissue, as was clearly observed over the years, induces immune reactions in a material …

The immune system is imperative to the survival of all biological organisms. A functional
immune system protects the organism by detecting and eliminating foreign and host …

Cancer immunotherapy, as a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, has recently received
tremendous attention. The active cancer vaccination, immune checkpoint blockage (ICB) …

Recent advances in biomaterials design offer the potential to actively control immune cell
activation and behaviour. Many human diseases, such as infections, cancer, and …

Human immune system acts as a pivotal role in the tissue homeostasis and disease
progression. Immunomodulatory biomaterials that can manipulate innate immunity and …
