Artificial extracellular matrices composed of collagen I and high sulfated hyaluronan modulate monocyte to macrophage differentiation under conditions of sterile inflammation.

Abstract excerpt

Integration of biomaterials into tissues is often disturbed by unopposed activation of macrophages. Immediately after implantation, monocytes are attracted from peripheral blood to the implantation site where they differentiate into macrophages. Inflammatory signals from the sterile tissue injury around the implanted biomaterial mediate the differentiation of monocytes into inflammatory M1 macrophages (M1) via...
