The Immune Response to Implanted Materials and Devices The Impact of the Immune System on the Success of an Implant /
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the cascade of events activated in the body following the implant of biomaterials and devices. It is one of the first books to shed light on the role of the host immune response on therapeutic efficacy of an implant, and reviews the state-of-the-art for...
