Introduction: The use of cellular systems for improving biointegration of medical devices is a current trend of tissue engineering. The biocompatibility is a key aspect that can influence the performance of medical devices, for that reason inflammatory and foreign body reaction must be evaluated in pre-clinical studies. MSCs can modify the interaction of biomaterials with tissues by several mechanisms through t...
Researchers developed this project according with the tasks originally planned, so far focusing their research activities in the biocompatibility and functionality of vascular implants. The biocompatibility was studied by following the ISO standard 10993-6 for evaluation of medical devices through the evaluation and grading of inflammation caused by implants placed subcutaneously. The implants were placed in sh...
