Abstract excerpt
Implantation of biomaterials into the body elicits a material-dependent inflammatory response called the foreign body reaction (FBR). Macrophages play a pivotal role in the FBR by orchestrating the pro-inflammatory microenvironment around the biomaterials by secreting cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. When the biomaterial is porous or degradable, macrophages can migrate into the material and continue the...
