Abstract excerpt
Nanomaterials with surface functionalized by different chemical groups can either provoke or attenuate the immune responses of the nanomaterials, which is critical to their biomedical efficacies. In this study, we demonstrate that synthetic waterborne polyurethane nanoparticles (PU NPs) can inhibit the macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype but not M2 phenotype. The surface-functionalized PU NPs decrease...
