Abstract excerpt
Bone fracture healing is a meticulously regulated process encompassing the inflammatory, reparative, and remodelling phases. Macrophages serve as pivotal coordinators within this cascade, with their polarisation from pro-inflammatory M1 to proregenerative M2 phenotypes, which play a crucial role in determining the repair outcome. Emerging evidence underscores the significant influence of mechanical cues such as...
