Nieuwe modellen voor patient-specifieke evaluatie van het effect van biomaterialen op macrofagen
The foreign body reaction differs per biomaterial and per patient. Some patients have complications after implantation of a biomaterial and some have none with the same biomaterial. For clinical practice, it would be a great benefit to have a tailor-made model with patients own cells to test pre-operatively which biomaterial is best thereby reducing complication rates. Since most of the knowledge and use of biomaterials is in general surgery, we will focus our research in this field. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop a tailor-made in vitro model with human macrophages.
Towards developing this model, the following aims are formulated:
1) to develop an in vitro model to study the effect of biomaterials on human macrophage polarisation
2) to investigate the influence of biomaterials on macrophage phenotype in an inflammatory environment and whether this is biomaterial-dependent
3) to investigate the influence of biomaterials on stem cells and macrophages together in an adjusted in vitro model
