Battiston K, Labow R, Simmons C, Santerre J
Acta Biomater . 2015 Jun; 24:74-86. PMID: 26093069
Statement Of Significance: The ability of biomaterials to regulate macrophage activation towards a wound healing phenotype has recently been shown to support positive tissue regeneration. However, the ability of immunomodulatory...

Santerre J, Woodhouse K, Laroche G, Labow R
Biomaterials . 2005 Jul; 26(35):7457-70. PMID: 16024077
After almost half a century of use in the health field, polyurethanes (PUs) remain one of the most popular group of biomaterials applied for medical devices. Their popularity has been...

Ernsting M, Labow R, Santerre J
J Biomater Sci Polym Ed . 2004 Feb; 14(12):1411-26. PMID: 14870944
Fluorinated surface-modifying macromolecules (SMMs) have been previously reported on and shown to limit the hydrolytic degradation of polyurethanes. The SMM molecules achieve this effect by allowing for the selective migration...

Tang Y, Labow R, Santerre J
Biomaterials . 2003 May; 24(17):2805-19. PMID: 12742719
Polycarbonate-polyurethanes (PCNUs) have provided the medical device industry with practical alternatives to oxidation-sensitive polyether-urethanes (PEUs). To date, many studies have focused on PCNUs synthesized with 4,4'-methylene diphenyl-diisocyanate (MDI). The relative...

Jahangir R, McCloskey C, Mc Clung W, Labow R, Brash J, Santerre J
Biomaterials . 2002 Nov; 24(1):121-30. PMID: 12417185
Previous investigations have demonstrated that the inflammatory cell derived enzyme, cholesterol esterase (CE) could degrade polyurethanes (PUs) by hydrolyzing ester and urethane bonds. Studies that have investigated the development of...

Tang Y, Labow R, Revenko I, Santerre J
J Biomater Sci Polym Ed . 2002 Aug; 13(4):463-83. PMID: 12160304
Polycarbonate based polyurethanes were synthesized with varying hard segment content as well as hard segment chemistry based on three different diisocyanates,1,6-hexane diisocyanate (HDI), 4.4'-methylene bisphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and 4,4-methylene biscyclohexyl...
