Effect of implant surface roughness on the NFkB signalling pathway in macrophages
Physical stress such as the surface roughness of the implants may activate the NFkB signalling pathway in macrophages. This activation is intimately related to the mechanism(s) by which the macrophage interacts with the surface through serum proteins and/or the formation of membrane rafts. This thes...
