Abstract excerpt
An understanding of the endothelial cell/blood/biomaterial interactions is central to advancing the success of cardiovascular devices that continue to fail because of the lack of nonthrombogenic biomaterials. A simplified endothelial cell/blood cell/biomaterial static model was used to assess these interactions. Human whole blood or isolated blood cells (mononuclear cells, neutrophils, platelets) were pretreated...
