Immune-instructive materials and surfaces for medical applications (2021)
Book Chapter

Biomaterials are an integral part of modern medicine with diverse applications including drug delivery platforms, scaffolds for tissue engineering, biosensors and medical devices/implants. The aging population and steady increase in the prevalence of... Read More about Immune-instructive materials and surfaces for medical applications.

Immune-instructive materials as new tools for immunotherapy (2021)
Journal Article

Immune instructive materials, are materials with the ability to modulate or mimic the function of immune cells, provide exciting opportunities for developing new therapies in many areas including medical devices, chronic inflammation, cancer, and aut...

Erratum: “Human lung-on-chips: Advanced systems for respiratory virus models and assessment of immune response” [Biomicrofluidics 15, 021501 (2021)] (2021)
Journal Article

It has been drawn to the authors’ attention that our original article1 did not appropriately attribute portions of a figure that we had reused from Ref. 2. The figure caption as it should have appeared follows. FIG. 2. (a) Schematic depicting human l...

Reversed-engineered human alveolar lung-on-a-chip model (2021)
Journal Article

Here, we present a physiologically relevant model of the human pulmonary alveoli. This alveolar lung-on-a-chip platform is composed of a three-dimensional porous hydrogel made of gelatin methacryloyl with an inverse opal structure, bonded to a compar...

Mitigating the foreign body response through ‘immune-instructive’ biomaterials (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives Biomaterials are routinely used in clinical applications. A key to the clinical success of implanted biomaterials is not eliciting detrimental immune responses. In this article, we provide an overview of immune responses to biomaterials,... Read More about Mitigating the foreign body response through ‘immune-instructive’ biomaterials.

Human lung-on-chips: Advanced systems for respiratory virus models and assessment of immune response (2021)
Journal Article

Respiratory viral infections are leading causes of death worldwide. A number of human respiratory viruses circulate in all age groups and adapt to person-to-person transmission. It is vital to understand how these viruses infect the host and how the... Read More about Human lung-on-chips: Advanced systems for respiratory virus models and assessment of immune response.

Development of a multiparametric (bio)sensing platform for continuous monitoring of stress metabolites (2021)
Journal Article

There is a growing need for real-time monitoring of metabolic products that could reflect cell damages over extended periods. In this paper, we report the design and development of an original multiparametric (bio)sensing platform that is tailored fo...

Discovery of synergistic material-topography combinations to achieve immunomodulatory osteoinductive biomaterials using a novel in vitro screening method: The ChemoTopoChip (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 The Authors Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are widely represented in regenerative medicine clinical strategies due to their compatibility with autologous implantation. Effective bone regeneration involves crosstalk between macrophages an...

Immunity in space: prokaryote adaptations and immune response in microgravity (2021)
Journal Article

Immune dysfunction has long been reported by medical professionals regarding astronauts suffering from opportunistic infections both during their time in space and a short period afterwards once back on Earth. Various species of prokaryotes onboard t... Read More about Immunity in space: prokaryote adaptations and immune response in microgravity.
