Promising Method To Fabricate Cellulose-Sheaths For Implants Being Developed, ETH Zurich Study

Artificial implants such as pacemakers often cause complications because the body identifies them as foreign objects. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now demonstrated a simple method to fabricate cellulose-sheaths for implants, whose micro-structured surface makes them especially biocompatible. The human immune system distinguishes between endogenous and foreign bodies.
