Study Notes

Characterization of Biomaterials and Tissue-Material Interaction

The study involves the characterization of biomaterials and their interaction with host tissues.
It explores the effects of materials on host tissues, particularly focusing on protein adsorption.
The interaction of biomaterials with tissue is computationally simulated, specifically looking at the interaction of fibrinogen on self-assembled monolayers.
The study also delves into the monolayer model of protein adsorption on solid surfaces, using Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
The research examines the cell binding to surfaces, involving integrin receptors and proteins in extracellular liquid.
It provides a timeline of cellular recruitment in the host response, detailing the stages of host response to implanted biomaterials.
The assessment of cell and tissue compatibility involves the examination of potential xenobiotics that might be released from a medical device or implanted material.
The study distinguishes "cell and tissue compatibility" from "biocompatibility," emphasizing that the former provides insight into safety/toxicology aspects but not functional performance.
In vitro assessment of cell and tissue compatibility involves scanning electron microscopy images of cells adhering to surfaces, but has limitations such as reduced complexity and lack of immune/inflammatory response.
The in vivo assessment of tissue-material compatibility involves implanting biomaterials in mice and evaluating the host response through histology processing.
Specific cellular responses to biomaterials are observed, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and foreign body giant cells, providing insights into tissue-material compatibility.
Non-invasive imaging, such as IVIS Spectrum imaging, is used to evaluate the host response to biomaterials, providing information on the dynamics of cellular enzymatic activity and allowing parallel analysis of multiple materials.
