The interactions of the biomaterials with the host immune system is
crucial for their functionality. This book aims to provide the
reader with a better understanding of the role of the immune system
in biomaterial applications. For this end, the book has dedicated
chapters for i) explaining immune cells taking part in immune
response to biomaterials/immune systems interface; ii) the effect
of biomaterial shape, form and physicochemical properties on the
response of immune system; iii) biofilm formation on implanted
materials as a failure of immune system/biomaterial interactions;
iv) tissue-specific effects of immune response and its consequences
for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; v) immune
reaction in a clinical context (periodontology). In the field of
biomaterials there are significant advances in using
immunomodulation techniques to improve the success rates of
implantable materials. For better understanding of such techniques
it is required to have a full grasp of the biomaterial-immune
system interactions. This would greatly enhance the understanding
of why the human body reacts to implants in a certain way and how
to improve the clinical outcomes by developing immune-instructive
biomaterials. Provides keen insight into biomaterial-immune cell
interactions Presents an explanation of state-of-the-art
methodologies in immunomodulation Offers a concise and
simple-to-understand treatment of biomaterial-immune cell
interactions for materials scientists in a biology heavy topic
Explores a comprehensive overview of biomaterial related
complications Provides extensive references at the end of each
chapter to enhance study for this very hot research area
