For a better understanding of such techniques, it is required to have a full grasp of the biomaterial–immune system interactions. This would greatly enhance the understanding of why the human body reacts to implants in a certain way and how to improve clinical outcomes by developing immune-instructive biomaterials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProvides keen insight into biomaterial–immune cell interactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePresents an explanation of state-of-the-art methodologies in immunomodulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOffers a concise and simple-to-understand treatment of biomaterial–immune cell interactions, suitable for materials scientists engaged with a biology-intensive topic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExplores a comprehensive overview of biomaterial-related complications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProvides extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance study in this highly active research area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605154513132,"sku":"9781138506374","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138506374-biomaterials-and-immune-response.jpg?v=1778124661","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/biomaterials-and-immune-response-9781138506374","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
