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, and therapeutic utility. Recent advances in materials development and device design are now providing strategies to overcome this immune-mediated reaction. Here, we briefly review our current mechanistic understanding of the foreign body response and highlight new anti-FBR technologies from this decade that have been applied successfully in biomedical applications relevant to implants, devices, and cell-based therapies. Further development of these important technologies promises to enable new therapies, diagnostics, and revolutionize the management of patient care for many intractable diseases.
异物反应是一种免疫过程,导致植入设备的排斥,并对其性能、耐久性和治疗效果构成根本挑战。最近在材料开发和设备设计方面的进展,为克服这种免疫介导的反应提供了策略。在这里,我们简要回顾了我们目前对异物反应的机制理解,并强调了过去十年中应用于与植入物、设备和基于细胞的治疗相关的生物医学应用的新型抗 FBR 技术。这些重要技术的进一步发展有望实现新的治疗方法、诊断方法,并彻底改变许多难治性疾病的患者管理。
