Biomaterials and Immune Response Complications, Mechanisms and Immunomodulation By: Nihal Engin Vrana Publisher: CRC Press Print ISBN: 9781138506374, 1138506370 eText ISBN: 9781351377553, 1351377558 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 2019 Format: EPUB Available from $ 55.98 USD SKU 9781351377553R90 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 res Download ebook: https://ouo.io/60gWjt
