A homologous set of alkylsilane-modified glass surfaces with chain lengths ranging from methyl to octadecyl was prepared in order to examine the influence of alkyl surface chemistry on macrophage adhesion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation. Contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscop

## Abstract Monocyte and macrophage adhesion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation has been observed on surfaces with a wide range of properties. In this study we have utilized novel, temperatureβresponsive surfaces (TRS) with dynamic surface properties to investigate inflammatory cell adhes
A long-standing goal of biomedical device development has been the generation of specific, desired host blood and tissue responses. An approach to meeting this design criteria is precise surface modification that creates micropatterns of distinct physicochemical character to direct cell adhesion and

## Abstract A series of Shore 80A polyether polyurethanes were synthesized with from 0 to 6% fluoropolymer surface modifying endgroups (SME) to provide the bulk properties of the polyurethane with the surface properties of the fluoropolymer. It was theorized that the fluoropolymer would migrate to
## Abstract Implantation of biomaterial devices results in the wellβknown foreign body reaction consisting of monocytes, macrophages, and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) at the material/tissue interface. We continue to address the hypothesis that material surface chemistry modulates the phenotypic
