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 …

The widespread use of biomaterials to support or replace body parts is increasingly
threatened by the risk of implant‐associated infections. In the quest for finding novel anti …

Mechanical mismatches between implanted electronics and biological tissues can lead to
inaccurate readings and long-term tissue damage. Here, we show that functionalized multi …

Despite considerable recent progress in defining neutrophil functions and behaviors in
tissue repair, much remains to be determined with regards to its overall role in the tissue …

The existence of orderly structures, such as tissues and organs is made possible by cell
adhesion, ie, the process by which cells attach to neighbouring cells and a supporting …

Implant-associated infection (IAI) is increasingly emerging as a serious threat with the
massive application of biomaterials. Bacteria attached to the surface of implants are often …

The compatibility of biomaterials is critical to their structural and biological function in
medical applications. The immune system is the first responder to tissue trauma and to a …

Host recognition and immune-mediated foreign body response to biomaterials can
compromise the performance of implanted medical devices. To identify key cell and cytokine …

The foreign body response is an immunological process that leads to the rejection of
implanted devices and presents a fundamental challenge to their performance, durability …

Chronic non-healing wounds challenge tissue regeneration and impair infection regulation
for patients afflicted with this condition. Next generation wound care technology capable of …
