This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse immune reactions to biomaterials are important bottlenecks for translation of novel biomaterials for clinical use. Moreover, recent advances in highthrough-put biomaterial discovery and synthetic biology, while providing exciting new veues, also significantly increases potential risks related to the in vivo reactions to these new materials. For example, the novel materials might have unintended biological activities due to their natural building blocks. In this perspective, biomaterial field needs i) better understanding of cell/biomaterial interactions at systems level; ii) development of new analysis and testing tools for advanced risk assessment iii) tools and technologies for modulating reactions to biomaterials and iv) advanced in vitro models for understanding and testing of reactions to biomaterials. In the following collection of articles you will find examples of such systems,together with comprehensive reviews of current developments in in vitro model systems. The collection also contains articles that elucidate the immune reaction to biomaterials in vitro and in vitro.
