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.
