Interaction between (tissue-engineered) implants and the recipient

Assembly and disassembly processes of vital implants obtained through tissue engineering. These can be characterized in vitro and ex vivo using non-destructive imaging:

• Investigation of degradation mechanisms of biodegradable implant materials
• Visualization and quantification of processes of tissue formation
• Identification of foreign body reactions and fibrotic changes
• Prediction of potential immune response by in situ phenotyping of immune cells (e.g. macrophages)
