This method can help answer key questions about how biomaterials influence susceptibility to infection, how they influence the progression of such infections, and how they affect immune cell behavior around such biomaterials in vivo. The main adva

The present study describes a zebrafish embryo model for in vivo visualization and intravital analysis of biomaterial-associated infection over time based on fluorescence microscopy. This model is a promising system complementing mammalian animal models such as mouse models for studying biomaterial-associated infections in vivo.
