Abstract excerpt
Monocyte-derived cells, including macrophages and foreign body giant cells, can determine the performance of implanted devices. Upon contact with biomaterials, macrophages can be activated into a classic inflammatory (M1) or wound-healing (M2) phenotype. Previously, we showed that high macrophage density on rough SLA implants was associated with early bone formation. This study examined a possible mechanism,...
