An actuatable soft reservoir modulates host foreign body response

This work build on our previous studies where we have shown that mechanical actuation can reduce the foreign body response to medical implants in vivo https://t.co/CFvUZqBAF8 https://t.co/LDDctHVjbA

@EimearBDolan originally developed 1st-gen soft robotic implants that reduced the FBR & fibrotic capsule formation. https://t.co/hbP3DZp0EM Despite that success, we regarded the approach as 1-size-fits-all as it did not account for how individual &a
