Journal Article
Vassey, M., Ma, L., Kämmerling, L., Mbadugha, C., Trindade, G. F., Figueredo, G. P., …Alexander, M. R. (2023). Innate immune cell instruction using micron-scale 3D objects of varied architecture and polymer chemistry: The ChemoArchiChip. Matter, 6(3), 887-906. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matt.2023.01.002

To design effective immunomodulatory implants, innate immune cell interactions at the surface of biomaterials need to be controlled and understood. The architectural design freedom of two-photon polymerization is used to produce arrays of surface-mou...

Mitigating the foreign body response through ‘immune-instructive’ biomaterials (2021)
Journal Article
Kämmerling, L., Fisher, L. E., Antmen, E., Simsek, G. M., Rostam, H. M., Vrana, N. E., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2021). Mitigating the foreign body response through ‘immune-instructive’ biomaterials. Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine, 12, Article 100040. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.regen.2021.100040

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.
