  2. Foreign body reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_body_reaction

    A foreign body reaction (FBR) is a typical tissue response to a foreign body within biological tissue. [1] It usually includes the formation of a foreign body granuloma . [ 2 ] Tissue encapsulation of an implant is an example, as is inflammation around a splinter . [ 3 ]

  3. Foreign-body giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-body_giant_cell

    Foreign body giant cells are involved in the foreign body reaction, phagocytosis, and subsequent degradation of biomaterials which may lead to failure of the implanted material. [4] When produced, the FBGC's place themselves along the surface of the implantation, and will remain there for as long as the foreign material remains in the body. [1]

  4. Bioinstructive material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinstructive_material

    Applications of bioinstructive materials as substrates for stem cell production, [6] cell delivery and reduction of foreign body reaction [7] [8] and coatings to reduce infections on medical devices. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] This non-leaching approach is distinct from strategies of infection control relying on antibiotic release, [ 11 ] cytokine delivery ...

  5. Giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell

    Non-osteoclast MGCs can arise in response to an infection, such as tuberculosis, herpes, or HIV, or as part of a foreign body reaction. These MGCs are cells of monocyte or macrophage lineage fused together. Similar to their monocyte precursors, they can phagocytose foreign materials. However, their large size and extensive membrane ruffling ...

  6. Implant (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_(medicine)

    In order to remove the bacteria, the implant would have to be removed. Lastly, the immune system may accept the presence of the implant and repair and remodel the surrounding tissue. Similar responses occur when the body initiates an allergic foreign body response. In the case of an allergic foreign body response, the implant would have to be ...

  7. SARS-CoV-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-1

    Scanning electron micrograph of SARS virions. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-1. It causes an often severe illness and is marked initially by systemic symptoms of muscle pain, headache, and fever, followed in 2–14 days by the onset of respiratory symptoms, [13] mainly cough, dyspnea, and pneumonia.

  8. Murine coronavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murine_coronavirus

    The body can infect the cell [clarification needed], that is, it can achieve membrane fusion without binding to the cell receptor, so it can infect structures in the nervous system with little expression of mCEACAM1, [33] [34] and its infection may mainly depend on the cutting of its spike protein by the cell surface protease.

  9. Polydioxanone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydioxanone

    The biomaterial is completely reabsorbed in 6 months and can be seen only a minimal foreign body reaction tissue in the vicinity of the implant. Materials made of PDS can be sterilized with ethylene oxide. [5]
