Daniel G. Anderson and coworkers, on p. H189 , synthesized a library of cationic polymers that drastically affect the morphology and behavior of monocyte/macrophage cells in vitro when immobilized on a surface, and modulate early inflammatory reactions in vivo. Certain polymers are found capable of mitigating the foreign body responses.
