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 …

The initial host response to healthcare materials' surfaces after implantation is the
adsorption of proteins from blood and interstitial fluids. This adsorbed protein layer …

The success of orthopedic implants requires rapid and complete osseointegration which
relies on an implant surface with optimal features. To enhance cellular function in response …

Block copolymer (BCP) self‐assembly has emerged as a feasible method for large‐scale
fabrication with remarkable precision–features that are not common for most of the …

The integration of enzymes with solid materials is important in many biotechnological
applications, including the use of immobilized enzymes for biocatalytic synthesis. The …

Foreign body reaction (FBR) is a prevalent yet often overlooked pathological phenomenon,
particularly within the field of biomedical implantation. The presence of FBR poses a heavy …

The conformational state of adsorbed human plasma fibrinogen (HPF) has been recognized
as the determinant factor in platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on blood-contacting …

Protein interactions at polymer interfaces represent a complex but ubiquitous phenomenon
that demands an entirely different focus of investigation than what has been attempted …

Biomaterials used as blood-contacting material must be hemocompatible and exhibit lower
thrombotic potential while maintaining hemostasis and angiogenesis. With the aim of …

The therapeutic efficacy of a cardiovascular device after implantation is highly dependent on
the host-initiated complement and coagulation cascade. Both can eventually trigger …
