Abstract excerpt
The immunologic response is considered to play a pivotal role in the application of biomaterial implants, and intrinsic properties of biomaterials can significantly modulate the anti-inflammatory effects. However, how physical confinement influences M2 polarization of macrophages and the relevant mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, pore size and porosity in cryogels can be mediated by...
