139th iCeMS Seminar: Dr. Jürgen Groll
The fate of any type and geometry of biomaterial in the human body is strongly correlated to the
innate immune reaction it provokes. We have thus over the last years evaluated the role of surface
chemistry, size and shape (in case of nanoparticles) or morphology (in case of macroscopic fibrous
scaffolds) on the activation and polarization of primary human peripheral blood phagocytes,
especially monocytes and macrophages derived thereof. This lecture will summarize our results and
recent research activities towards biomaterials and scaffold design with immunomodulatory effects.
