Polyethylene Implants with Controlled Immune Response
Executive Summary Polyethylene is commonly used as a material for medical implants such as total joint replacements. Unfortunately, polyethylene wear particles can promote adverse host immune responses in patients, which may require secondary revision surgery. MSU researchers have recently discovered that metabolic reprogramming and altered bioenergetics...

Synthetic Implants with Controlled Immune Response
Executive Summary Polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) are commonly used as bioabsorbable materials for implants. Unfortunately, degradation products from these often promote adverse host immune responses in patients, which may require a secondary medical intervention such as surgery to remove the implant. To attempt to counter this, some...
