Starting off 2021 with good news, the REdesign lab would like to announce a new study published in Biomedical Materials! Led by REdesign Lab postdoctoral researcher Camilo Mora-Navarro, PhD, this newly-accepted publication takes a detailed look at the transcriptomic response of human peripheral blood-derived macrophages when seeded on commonly used surgical meshes, particularly of a novel poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) mesh. Results of this study provide valuable information of the potential immune response when these meshes are implanted in vivo or clinically. This study was generously funded by TEPHA, Inc. and is a shining example of collaborative work between academia and industry.

What a great start to the new year!
