Local reactions to biomaterial surface by time. Phase I: surface wetting and adsorption of molecules (proteins) mainly derived from blood. Phase II: battle between local cells or bacteria for adhesion onto the surface. Phase III: formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and focal adhesion contacts. Phase IV: the cells started to proliferate and differentiate hence tissue is re-modeled.
