Tissue repair/regeneration, after implantation or injury, involves comprehensive
physiological processes wherein immune responses play a crucial role to enable tissue …

A key for long-term survival and function of biomaterials is that they do not elicit a detrimental
immune response. As biomaterials can have profound impacts on the host immune …

Current state-of-the-art biomedical implants and tissue engineering methods promise
technologies to improve or even restore the function of diseased organs. However, one of …

The immune system plays a central role in tissue repair and regeneration. Indeed, the
immune response to tissue injury is crucial in determining the speed and the outcome of the …

This textbook is intended to be a resource for biomaterial scientists and biomedical
engineers, in both industry and academia, interested in the development of smart strategies …

Tissue healing and regeneration is a complex, choreographed, spatiotemporal process
involving a plethora of cell types, the activity of which is stringently regulated in order for …

Tissue engineering strategies for treating bone loss to date have largely focused on
targeting stem cells or vascularization. Immune cells, including macrophages and T cells …

All implanted biomaterials are targets of the host's immune system. While the host
inflammatory response was once considered a detrimental force to be blunted or avoided, in …

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 perspectives of regenerative medicine are still severely hampered by the host response
to biomaterial implantation, despite the robustness of technologies that hold the promise to …
