Gene expression study of monocytes/macrophages during early foreign body reaction and identification of potential precursors of myofibroblasts.

Gene expression study of monocytes/macrophages during early foreign body reaction and identification of potential precursors of myofibroblasts.

Foreign body reaction (FBR), initiated by adherence of macrophages to biomaterials, is associated with several complications. Searching for mechanisms potentially useful to overcome these complications, we have established the signaling role of monocytes/macrophages in the development of FBR and the...
