## Abstract Although biomaterials have been used in the clinical setting for a long time, little is known of the molecular mechanisms underlying the foreign‐body reaction (FBR). A good understanding of these mechanisms is requisite for the controlled regulation of the FBR needed to prevent adverse

## Abstract Dacron‐containing heart valve repair devices trigger chronic inflammation characterized by the presence of activated macrophages, foreign body giant cells, and capsule formation. Upon blood contact, proinflammatory proteins adsorb to the material and provide a substrate for monocyte bin
Biomaterials are increasingly used for clinical applications. However, loss of function may occur owing to tissue reactions, which are mainly caused by a variety of inflammatory reactions. Recently, we demonstrated that macrophages (MO) and T cells play key roles in these reactions. Since immunologi
