Implanted medical devices are of increasing importance in the practice of medicine. Despite the inert and non-toxic nature of most biomaterials, adverse responses such as device-mediated inflammation, fibrosis, coagulation, and infection are frequent and sometimes life threatening. Unfortunately, the mechanisms underlying these responses are mostly unknown and the lack of such knowledge hinders the development of materials with desired tissue reactivity and compatibility.
