Controlling Incoming Macrophages to Implants: Responsiveness of Macrophages to Gelatin Micropatterns under M1/M2 Phenotype Defining Biochemical Stimulations (2017)
Journal Article

Adverse immune reactions to implanted devices can seriously hamper the efficacy of implants. Monocyte derived macrophages play a crucial role in both initiation and resolution of the inflammatory response toward foreign bodies. As the surface microt...

Unbiased analysis of the impact of micropatterned biomaterials on macrophage behaviour provides insights beyond pre-defined polarisation states (2017)
Journal Article

Macrophages are master regulators of immune responses towards implanted biomaterials. The activation state adopted by macrophages in response to biomaterials determines their own phenotype and function as well as those of other resident and infiltrat...

Electrohydrodynamic printing as a method to micropattern large titanium implant surfaces with photocrosslinkable structures (2017)
Journal Article

Metallic implants are widely used in orthopaedic and orthodontic applications. However, generally surface treatment of the metallic surfaces is necessary to render them more biologically active. Herein, we describe a direct write printing method to m... Read More about Electrohydrodynamic printing as a method to micropattern large titanium implant surfaces with photocrosslinkable structures.
