ABSTRACT
The host inflammatory reaction is a normal response to injury and the presence of foreign substances. Macrophage is one of the principal cell types in controlling host inflammatory and immune processes; hence, its response to biomaterials has a direct impact on biocompatibility and stability of biomaterials in vivo. This review describes the interaction of macrophages with tissue engineering related biomaterials. The bulk physicochemical structure and surface performance of biomaterials could be designed to control macrophages behaviors (i. e. adhesion, activation, fusion, apoptosis) and host responses, resulting in improving biocompatibility of biomaterials.
