A foreign body reaction (FBR) is a typical tissue response to a foreign body within biological tissue. [1] It usually includes the formation of a foreign body granuloma . [ 2 ] Tissue encapsulation of an implant is an example, as is inflammation around a splinter . [ 3 ]
A foreign-body giant cell is a collection of fused macrophages which are generated in response to the presence of a large foreign body. This is particularly evident with catheters, parasites, or biomaterials that are inserted into the body for replacement or regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues.
The biocompatibility of surgically implanted foreign biomaterial refers to the interactions between the biomaterial and the host body tissue. Cell line as well as cell type such as fibroblasts can largely impact tissue responses towards implanted foreign devices by changing cell morphology. [16]
Applications of bioinstructive materials as substrates for stem cell production, [6] cell delivery and reduction of foreign body reaction [7] [8] and coatings to reduce infections on medical devices. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] This non-leaching approach is distinct from strategies of infection control relying on antibiotic release, [ 11 ] cytokine delivery ...
Host response is defined as the "response of the host organism (local and systemic) to the implanted material or device". Most materials will have a reaction when in contact with the human body. The success of a biomaterial relies on the host tissue's reaction with the foreign material.
Non-osteoclast MGCs can arise in response to an infection, such as tuberculosis, herpes, or HIV, or as part of a foreign body reaction. These MGCs are cells of monocyte or macrophage lineage fused together. Similar to their monocyte precursors, they can phagocytose foreign materials. However, their large size and extensive membrane ruffling ...
The ideal cell response to a bioactive surface is characterized by biomaterial stabilization and integration, as well as the reduction of potential bacterial infection sites on the surface. One example of biomaterial integration is a titanium implant with an engineered biointerface covered with biomimetic motifs. Surfaces with these biomimetic ...
