The perspectives of regenerative medicine are still severely hampered by the host response
to biomaterial implantation, despite the robustness of technologies that hold the promise to …

Microplastic (MP) debris is considered as a potentially hazardous material. It is omnipresent
in our environment, and evidence that MP is also abundant in the atmosphere is increasing …

The foreign body response is an immunological process that leads to the rejection of
implanted devices and presents a fundamental challenge to their performance, durability …

Scaffolds are an integral part of the regenerative medicine field. The contact of biomaterials
with tissue, as was clearly observed over the years, induces immune reactions in a material …

Recent research in the vaccine and immunotherapy fields has revealed that biomaterials
have the ability to activate immune pathways, even in the absence of other immune …

Exposure to widely used inert fibrous nanomaterials (for example, glass fibres or carbon
nanotubes) may result in asbestos-like lung pathologies, becoming an important …

Toxicity testing and regulation of advanced materials at the nanoscale, ie nanosafety, is
challenged by the growing number of nanomaterials and their property variants requiring …

Biomaterials are becoming increasingly crucial for healthcare solutions, with extensive use
in the field of tissue engineering and drug delivery. After implantation, biomaterials trigger an …

Considering the increasing production of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), new approach
methodologies (NAMs) are essential for safe-by-design approaches and risk assessment …

Although mesothelioma is the consequence of a protracted immune response to asbestos
fibers and characterized by a clear immune infiltrate, novel immunotherapy approaches …
