Recorded webinar

Assessing the inflammatory responses induced by biomaterials in contact with human blood using in vitro assays including QCM-D

This webinar discusses how biomaterials and nanoparticles used in medical applications interact with the body's innate immune system, often triggering inflammatory and coagulation responses. It presents a research approach using human whole blood models and techniques like QCM-D to study these reactions at the molecular level. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms of immune activation in order to inform the design of biomaterials with improved biocompatibility.
