Biomaterials and host versus graft responseVelnar, Tomaž (Avtor) Bunc, Gorazd (Avtor) Klobucar, Robert (Avtor) Gradišnik, Lidija (Avtor) , Association of Basic Medical Sciences of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Lastnik avtorskih pravic) host versus graft diseaseGVHDbiomaterialwound healingtransplanttissueprostheticimplantsbiological responsecomplicationsBiomaterials and biotechnology are increasing becoming an important area in modern medicine. The main aim in this area is the development of materials, which are biocompatible to normal tissue. Tissue-implant interactions with molecular, biological and cellular characteristics at the implant-tissue interface are important for the use and development of implants. Implantation may cause an inflammatory and immune response in tissue, foreign body reaction, systemic toxicity and imminent infection. Tissue-implant interactions determine the implant life-period. The aims of the study are to consider the biological response to implants. Biomaterials and host reactions to implants and their mechanisms are also briefly discussed.20162017-08-03 10:31:12Znanstveno delo67135sl
