The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to the development of an
inflammatory and fibrotic process—the foreign body reaction (FBR). Upon implantation into a …

Biodegradable materials, including natural and synthetic polymers and hydrolyzable metals,
constitute the main components of temporary, implantable medical devices. Besides the …

The use of implants that can electrically stimulate or record electrophysiological or
neurochemical activity in nervous tissue is rapidly expanding. Despite remarkable results in …

Biomedical electronic devices are interfaced with the human body to extract precise medical
