Biomaterials are the central element of biomedical engineering solutions to replace, restore, or improve the function of diseased or damaged tissues or organs. All biomaterials placed inside the body will elicit tissue responses, the nature and extent of which depend on the biocompatibility and bioactivity of the biomaterial. This article will introduce the sequence of tissue responses to biomaterials, including the inflammatory and wound healing responses and the foreign body reaction, followed by a summary of the influence of biomaterial characteristics on directing the tissue response to different classes of biomaterials.
