Abstract

Statement of Purpose: The theory of tissue-based class control, developed by Matzinger 1 , suggests that the immune response to a pathogen is not primarily tailored to the pathogen identity but instead the tissue location of that infection. We propose that this theory also plays a role in biomaterials and medical device implantation wherein the tissue microenvironment greatly regulates the response to the implanted material or device. White adipose is associated with pro-fibrotic and inflammatory responses in the context of implanted devices 2 .
