Journal ArticleDOI

Biological reactions to wear debris in total joint replacement.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the pre-clinical testing of any new materials for joint replacement must include an analysis of the wear particle characteristics and their biological reactivity in addition to the usual assessment of wear.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of macrophages in osteolysis of total joint replacement.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that bone marrow-derived macrophages may play a dual role in osteolysis associated with total joint replacement, as the major cell in host defence responding to UHMWPE particles via the production of cytokines and secondly as precursors for the osteoclasts responsible for the ensuing bone resorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Release of the angiogenic cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from platelets: significance for VEGF measurements and cancer biology.

TL;DR: The presence of VEGF within platelets has implications for processes involving platelet and endothelial cell interactions, e.g. wound healing, and in tumour metastasis, when platelets adhering to circulating tumour cells may release V EGF at points of adhesion to endothelium, leading to hyperpermeability and extravasation of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyethylene particles of a ‘critical size’ are necessary for the induction of cytokines by macrophages in vitro

TL;DR: Particulate wear debris from total hip prosthetic components can stimulate macrophages to produce mediators of osteolysis which may cause aseptic implant loosening and particles in the phagocytosable size range of 0.3-10 microm appear to be the most biologically active.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of nano- and micron-sized particles of cobalt–chromium alloy on human fibroblasts in vitro

TL;DR: The mechanism of cell damage appears to be different after exposure to nanoparticles and microparticles, and the concept of nanotoxicology is an important consideration in the design of future surgical devices.
