Download or read book Immunomodulatory Biomaterials written by Stephen F. Badylak and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomaterials have existed for millennia as mechanical replacement structures following disease or injury. Biomaterial design has changed markedly from structural support with an “inert immune profile as the primary objective to designs that elicit an integrative local tissue response and a pro-repair immune cell phenotype. Immunomodulatory Biomaterials: Regulating the Immune Response with Biomaterials to Affect Clinical Outcome offers a single, comprehensive reference on biomaterials for modulation of the host response, for materials scientists, tissue engineers and those working in regenerative medicine. This book details methods, materials and strategies designed to regulate the host immune response following surgical implantation and thus facilitate specific local cell infiltration and tissue deposition. There has been a dramatic transformation in our understanding of the role of the immune system, both innate and adaptive; these changes include recognition of the plasticity of immune cells, especially macrophages, cross-talk between the immune system and stem cells, and the necessity for in situ transition between inflammatory and regulatory immune cell phenotypes. The exploitation of these findings and the design and manufacture of new biomaterials is occurring at an astounding pace. There is currently no book directed at the interdisciplinary principles guiding the design, manufacture, testing, and clinical translation of biomaterials that proactively regulate the host tissue immune response. The challenge for academia, industry, and regulatory agencies to encourage innovation while assuring safety and maximizing efficacy has never been greater. Given the highly interdisciplinary requirements for the design, manufacture and use of immunomodulatory biomaterials, this book will prove a useful single resource across disciplines. Holistically covers the design, manufacture, testing, and clinical translation of biomaterials that proactively regulate the host tissue immune response Provides a single reference for understanding and utilizing the host response in biomaterials design An international collaboration of leading researchers in the field offering a novel insight into this fast-growing area

Download or read book Immune Modulation with Amniotic Epithelial Cells in Pancreatic Islet Transplantation written by Khalid Qureshi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic systemic immunosuppression in pancreatic islet transplantation restricts its clinical application. This study aims to explore the potential of cell-mediated immune-modulation as an alternative to conventional immunosuppressive regimens; specifically investigating the innate immunosuppressive properties of human amniotic epithelial cells (AEC). Cell constructs composed of human islets and AEC (islet:AEC) were bio-engineered in rotational culture. Insulin secretory capacity and immuno-modulatory potential were characterised using appropriate in vitro assays. Fluorescence immunocytochemistry and multiplex arrays was used to identify putative mediators of the immunosuppressive response in isolated AEC monocultures. Islets and islet:AEC constructs demonstrated sustained, physiologically-appropriate insulin secretion. Resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were activated on exposure to human islets but this response was significantly (p

Download or read book Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Immunomodulation written by Charles J. Malemud and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential volume explores mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their potential to suppress immune-mediated inflammation. The chapters examine applications in autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis; blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma; and reproductive complications, specifically pre-term labor and use of MSCs in vitro and in animal models to discover methods of suppressing the causal inflammatory response. It also further defines the methodologies required to develop research on MSCs in vitro into established preclinical animal models including those which are proven replicas of autoimmunity and pre-term labor, to name but two. Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Immunomodulation, part of Springer’s Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, is an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians working with stem cells, autoimmune disease, oncology, and reproductive medicine.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success of transplantation of pancreatic islets as a promising therapeutic method for restoring efficient regulated insulin secretion in type 1 diabetes depends on lifelong use of immunosuppressive drugs. With the goal of eliminating the necessity of systemic immunosuppressive agents after islet transplantation, in this doctoral research project we hypothesized that a novel non-rejectable islet graft through employing a local immunosuppressive factor, indoleamine 2, 3 dioxygenase (IDO) can be developed and applied. IDO is a tryptophan degrading enzyme and functions as a potent immunomodulatory factor. To address this hypothesis, we engineered a three-dimensional composite islet graft equipped with IDO expressing bystander cells as local immunosuppressive system. In this composite graft, expression of IDO in syngeneic fibroblasts provided a low tryptophan microenvironment within which T-cells could not proliferate and infiltrate islets. Three specific aims were accomplished in this study. We first showed that local expression of IDO in syngeneic bystander fibroblasts efficiently suppressed in vitro proliferation of lymphocytes stimulated with allogeneic pancreatic islets. In the next phase, the impact of IDO on viability and function of mouse islets embedded within IDO-expressing fibroblast-populated collagen matrix was investigated. The result showed no reduction in islet cells viability and comparable insulin content and secretion in IDO-expressing versus control preparations. In contrast to lymphocytes, a nutrient deficiency stress-responsive pathway was not activated in islets co-cultured with IDO-expressing fibroblasts confirming the selective suppressive effect of IDO on immune versus islet cells. Furthermore, when allogeneic immune response was eliminated by using a syngeneic transplant model, IDO-expressing composite islet grafts were functional in vivo for up to 100 days. Finally, to address the last specific aim, composite allogeneic islet grafts were trans.
