Abstract
Scientific knowledge of cancer has advanced greatly throughout the years, with most recent studies findings includes many hallmarks that capture disease's multifaceted character. One of the novel approach utilised for the delivery of anti-cancer agents includes mesenchymal stem cell mediated drug delivery. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-haematopoietic progenitor cells that may be extracted from bone marrow, tooth pulp, adipose tissue and placenta/umbilical cord blood dealing with adult stem cells. MSCs are mostly involved in regeneration of tissue, they have also been shown to preferentially migrate to location of several types of tumour in-vivo. Usage of MSCs ought to improve both effectiveness and safety of anti-cancer drugs by enhancing delivery efficiency of anti-cancer therapies to tumour site. Numerous researches has demonstrated that various drugs, when delivered via mesenchymal stem cell mediated delivery can elicit anti-tumour effect of cells in cancers of breast cells and thyroid cells. MSCs have minimal immunogenicity because to lack of co-stimulatory molecule expression, which means there is no requirement for immunosuppression after allogenic transplantation. This current review elaborates recent advancements of mesenchyma stem cell mediated drug delivery of anti-cancer agents along with its mechanism and previously reported studies of drugs manufactured via this drug delivery system.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:17347-17360. [PMID: 38561903 PMCID: PMC11009907 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c02321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) cell assemblies, such as multicellular spheroids, can be powerful biological tools to closely mimic the complexity of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in a native-like microenvironment. However, potential applications of large spheroids are limited by the insufficient diffusion of oxygen and nutrients through the spheroids and, thus, result in the formation of a necrotic core. To overcome this drawback, we present a new strategy based on nanoparticle-coated microparticles. In this study, microparticles function as synthetic centers to regulate the diffusion of small molecules, such as oxygen and nutrients, within human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) spheroids. The nanoparticle coating on the microparticle surface acts as a nutrient reservoir to release glucose locally within the spheroids. We first coated the surface of the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) based on electrostatic interactions and then formed cell-nanofunctionalized microparticle spheroids. Next, we investigated the stability of the MSN coating on the microparticles' surface during 14 days of incubation in cell culture medium at 37 °C. Then, we evaluated the influence of MSN-coated PLGA microparticles on spheroid aggregation and cell viability. Our results showed the formation of homogeneous spheroids with good cell viability. As a proof of concept, fluorescently labeled glucose (2-NBD glucose) was loaded into the MSNs at different concentrations, and the release behavior was monitored. For cell culture studies, glucose was loaded into the MSNs coated onto the PLGA microparticles to sustain local nutrient release within the hMSC spheroids. In vitro results demonstrated that the local delivery of glucose from MSNs enhanced the cell viability in spheroids during a short-term hypoxic culture. Taken together, the newly developed nanofunctionalized microparticle-based delivery system may offer a versatile platform for local delivery of small molecules within 3D cellular assemblies and, thus, improve cell viability in spheroids.

Abstract
The unique characteristics of stem cells, which include self-renewal and differentiation into specific cell types, have paved the way for the development of various biomedical applications such as stem cell therapy, disease modelling, and drug screening. The establishment of effective stem cell differentiation techniques is essential for the effective application of stem cells for various purposes. Ongoing research has sought to induce stem cell differentiation using diverse differentiation factors, including chemicals, proteins, and integrin expression. These differentiation factors play a pivotal role in a variety of applications. However, it is equally essential to acknowledge the potential hazards of uncontrolled differentiation. For example, uncontrolled differentiation can give rise to undesirable consequences, including cancerous mutations and stem cell death. Therefore, the development of innovative methods to control stem cell differentiation is crucial. In this review, we discuss recent research cases that have effectively utilised porous functional material-based drug delivery systems to regulate stem cell differentiation. Due to their unique substrate properties, drug delivery systems based on porous functional materials effectively induce stem cell differentiation through the steady release of differentiation factors. These ground-breaking techniques hold considerable promise for guiding and controlling the fate of stem cells for a wide range of biomedical applications, including stem cell therapy, disease modelling, and drug screening.

Abstract
Stem cell adhesion is mediated via the binding of integrin receptors to adhesion motifs present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The spatial organization of adhesion ligands plays an important role in stem cell integrin-mediated adhesion. In this study, we developed a series of biointerfaces using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-RGD) to study the effect of RGD adhesion ligand global density (ligand coverage over the surface), spacing, and RGD clustering levels on stem cell adhesion and differentiation. To prepare the biointerface, MSNs were chemically functionalized with RGD peptides via an antifouling poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) linker. The RGD surface functionalization ratio could be controlled to create MSNs with high and low RGD ligand clustering levels. MSN films with varying RGD global densities could be created by blending different ratios of MSN-RGD and non-RGD-functionalized MSNs together. A computational simulation study was performed to analyze nanoparticle distribution and RGD spacing on the resulting surfaces to determine experimental conditions. Enhanced cell adhesion and spreading were observed when RGD global density increased from 1.06 to 5.32 nmol cm-2 using highly clustered RGD-MSN-based films. Higher RGD ligand clustering levels led to larger cell spreading and increased formation of focal adhesions. Moreover, a higher RGD ligand clustering level promoted the expression of alkaline phosphatase in hMSCs. Overall, these findings indicate that both RGD global density and clustering levels are crucial variables in regulating stem cell behaviors. This study provides important information about ligand-integrin interactions, which could be implemented into biomaterial design to achieve optimal performance of adhesive functional peptides.

Abstract
Recently, various attempts have been made to apply diverse types of nanoparticles in biotechnology. Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been highlighted and studied for their selective accumulation in diseased parts, strong physical and chemical stability, and low cytotoxicity. SNPs, in particular, are very suitable for use in drug delivery and bioimaging, and have been sought as a treatment for ischemic diseases. In addition, mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been confirmed to efficiently deliver various types of drugs owing to their porous structure. Moreover, there have been innovative attempts to treat ischemic diseases using SNPs, which utilize the effects of Si ions on cells to improve cell viability, migration enhancement, and phenotype modulation. Recently, external stimulus-responsive treatments that control the movement of magnetic SNPs using external magnetic fields have been studied. This review addresses several original attempts to treat ischemic diseases using SNPs, including particle synthesis methods, and presents perspectives on future research directions.

Abstract
Introduction Large bone abnormalities are commonly treated using distraction osteogenesis (DO), but it is not suitable for a long-term application; therefore, there is an urgent need for adjuvant therapy that can accelerate bone repair. Methods We have synthesized mesoporous silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles doped with cobalt ions (Co-MMSNs) and assessed their capacity to quicken bone regrowth in a mouse model of DO. Furthermore, local injection of the Co-MMSNs significantly accelerated bone healing in DO, as demonstrated by X-ray imaging, micro-CT, mechanical tests, histological evaluation, and immunochemical analysis. Results In vitro, the Co-MMSNs exhibited good biocompatibility and induced angiogenic gene expression and osteogenic development in bone mesenchymal stem cells. And the Co-MMSNs can promote bone regeneration in a rat DO model. Discussion This study demonstrated the significant potential of Co-MMSNs to shorten the DO treatment duration and effectively reduce the incidence of complications.

Abstract
The balance of bone turnover mediated by osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis implants that could suppress osteoclastogenesis and promote osteogenesis is an appropriate treatment strategy for osteoporosis patients. Titanium is one of the most applied materials in implants. In this study, titania nanotubes (Ti-NTs) were produced by anodization at 10, 40, and 60 V. We found that Ti-NTs were nontoxic to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Ti-NTs suppressed osteoclast formation and function in a diameter dependent manner in vitro. Furthermore, Ti-NTs enhanced the activity of osteogenesis, expressions of osteogenesis-related marker genes were increased and β-Catenin pathway was active. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and matrix mineralization were also promoted in vitro. To explore the possible mechanisms, we performed a series of experiments to indicate the effects of Ti-NTs on cytoskeletal organization and integrin ανβ3 expression of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The results demonstrated that 90-nm-diameter Ti-NTs could suppress the expression of integrin ανβ3 in osteoclast precursor cells. Interestingly, it revealed an opposite effect on BMSCs. Moreover, 90 nm-diameter Ti-NTs prevented ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss. These findings indicated that Ti-NTs could inhibit osteoclastogenesis and enhance osteogenesis; it was mediated via regulation of integrin ανβ3─90 nm-diameter Ti-NT revealed a good biological ability especially suited for osteoporosis treatment.

Various Coated Barrier Membranes for Better Guided Bone Regeneration: A Review. COATINGS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings12081059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A good barrier membrane is one of the important factors for effective guided bone/tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR) in the case of periodontal bone defects. Several methods are being discussed to overcome and improve the shortcomings of commercially available membranes. One of the methods is to coat the membrane with bioactive materials. In this study, 41 studies related to coated membranes for GBR/GTR published in the last 5 years were reviewed. These studies reported coating the membrane with various bioactive materials through different techniques to improve osteogenesis, antimicrobial properties, and physical/mechanical properties. The reported studies have been classified and discussed based on the purpose of coating. The goal of the most actively studied research on coating or surface modification of membranes is to improve new bone formation. For this purpose, calcium phosphate, bioactive glass, polydopamine, osteoinduced drugs, chitosan, platelet-rich fibrin, enamel matrix derivatives, amelotin, hyaluronic acid, tantalum, and copper were used as membrane coating materials. The paradigm of barrier membranes is changing from only inert (or biocompatible) physical barriers to bioactive osteo-immunomodulatory for effective guided bone and tissue regeneration. However, there is a limitation that there exists only a few clinical studies on humans to date. Efforts are needed to implement the use of coated membranes from the laboratory bench to the dental chair unit. Further clinical studies are needed in the patients’ group for long-term follow-up to confirm the effect of various coating materials.

Abstract
A significant bottleneck in the clinical translation of stem cells remains eliciting the desired stem cell behavior once transplanted in the body. In their natural environment, stem cell fate is regulated by their interaction with extracellular matrix (ECM), mainly through integrin-mediated cell adhesion. 2D biointerfaces that selectively present ECM-derived ligands can be used as valuable tools to study and improve our understanding on how stem cells interact with their environment. Here we developed a new type of biointerface based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) which are interesting nanomaterials for biointerface engineering because they allow close control over surface physiochemical properties. To create the platform, DNA functionalized MSN (MSN-ssDNA) with varying PEG linker length were developed. Cell adhesion tripeptide RGD was conjugated to a complementary DNA strand, which could specifically bind to MSN-ssDNA to create MSN-dsDNA-RGD films. We showed that MSN-dsDNA-RGD films could promote hMSCs adhesion and spreading, whereas MSN-dsDNA films without RGD resulted in poor cell spreading with round morphology, and low cell adhesion. In addition, we showed that cell adhesion to the films is PEG length-dependent. The design of the platform allows easy incorporation of other and multiple ECM ligands, as well as soluble cues, making MSN-ssDNA based biointerfaces a novel tool to study ligand-stem cell interactions.

Abstract
Biomaterials at nanoscale is a fast-expanding research field with which extensive studies have been conducted on understanding the interactions between cells and their surrounding microenvironments as well as intracellular communications. Among many kinds of nanoscale biomaterials, mesoporous fibrous structures are especially attractive as a promising approach to mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell and tissue research. Silica is a well-studied biocompatible, natural inorganic material that can be synthesized as morpho-genetically active scaffolds by various methods. This review compares silica nanofibers (SNFs) to other ECM materials such as hydrogel, polymers, and decellularized natural ECM, summarizes fabrication techniques for SNFs, and discusses different strategies of constructing ECM using SNFs. In addition, the latest progress on SNFs synthesis and biomimetic ECM substrates fabrication is summarized and highlighted. Lastly, we look at the wide use of SNF-based ECM scaffolds in biological applications, including stem cell regulation, tissue engineering, drug release, and environmental applications.

Silicon-Gold Nanoparticles Affect Wharton's Jelly Phenotype and Secretome during Tri-Lineage Differentiation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042134.

Abstract
Multiple studies have demonstrated that various nanoparticles (NPs) stimulate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and inhibit adipogenic ones. The mechanisms of these effects are not determined. The aim of this paper was to estimate Wharton’s Jelly MSCs phenotype and humoral factor production during tri-lineage differentiation per se and in the presence of silicon–gold NPs. Silicon (SiNPs), gold (AuNPs), and 10% Au-doped Si nanoparticles (SiAuNPs) were synthesized by laser ablation, characterized, and studied in MSC cultures before and during differentiation. Humoral factor production (n = 41) was analyzed by Luminex technology. NPs were nontoxic, did not induce ROS production, and stimulated G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, CXCL1 (GRO) production in four day MSC cultures. During MSC differentiation, all NPs stimulated CD13 and CD90 expression in osteogenic cultures. MSC differentiation resulted in a decrease in multiple humoral factor production to day 14 of incubation. NPs did not significantly affect the production in chondrogenic cultures and stimulated it in both osteogenic and adipogenic ones. The major difference in the protein production between osteogenic and adipogenic MSC cultures in the presence of NPs was VEGF level, which was unaffected in osteogenic cells and 4–9 times increased in adipogenic ones. The effects of NPs decreased in a row AuNPs > SiAuNPs > SiNPs. Taken collectively, high expression of CD13 and CD90 by MSCs and critical level of VEGF production can, at least, partially explain the stimulatory effect of NPs on MSC osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Bulk calcium phosphates and silicate-based bioglasses have been extensively studied since the early 1970s due to their unique capacity to bind to host bone, which led to their clinical translation and commercialization in the 1980s. Since the mid-1990s, researchers have synthesized nanoscale calcium phosphate and silicate-based particles of increased specific surface area, chemical reactivity and solubility which offer specific advantages as compared to their bulk counterparts. This review provides a critical perspective on the history and emerging trends of these two classes of ceramic nanoparticles. Their synthesis and functional properties in terms of particle composition, size, shape, charge, dispersion, and toxicity are discussed as a function of relevant processing parameters. Specifically, emerging trends such as the influence of ion doping and mesoporosity on the biological and pharmaceutical performance of these nanoparticles are reviewed in more detail. Finally, a broad comparative overview is provided on the physicochemical properties and applicability of calcium phosphate and silicate-based nanoparticles within the fields of i) local delivery of therapeutic agents, ii) functionalization of biomaterial scaffolds or implant coatings, and iii) bio-imaging applications.

Abstract
Ceramic (nano)materials are promising materials for bone regeneration applications. The addition of bioinorganics such as strontium (Sr) and zinc (Zn) is a popular approach to further improve their biological performance. However, control over ion delivery is important to prevent off-target effects. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are popular nanomaterials that can be designed to incorporate and controllably deliver multiple ions to steer specific regenerative processes. In this work, MSNs loaded with Sr (MSNSr ) and surface coated with a pH-sensitive calcium phosphate (MSNSr -CaP) or calcium phosphate zinc layer (MSNSr -CaZnP) are developed. The ability of the MSNs to promote osteogenesis in human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) under basic cell culture conditions is explored and compared to ion administration directly to the cell culture media. Here, it is shown that MSN-CaPs can effectively induce alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and osteogenic gene expression in the absence of other osteogenic stimulants, where an improved effect is observed for MSNs surface coated with multiple ions. Moreover, comparatively lower ion doses are needed when using MSNs as delivery vehicles compared to direct ion administration in the medium. In summary, the MSNs developed here represent promising vehicles to deliver (multiple) bioinorganics and promote hMSC osteogenesis in basic conditions.

Abstract
Bone damage leading to bone loss can arise from a wide range of causes, including those intrinsic to individuals such as infections or diseases with metabolic (diabetes), genetic (osteogenesis imperfecta), and/or age-related (osteoporosis) etiology, or extrinsic ones coming from external insults such as trauma or surgery. Although bone tissue has an intrinsic capacity of self-repair, large bone defects often require anabolic treatments targeting bone formation process and/or bone grafts, aiming to restore bone loss. The current bone surrogates used for clinical purposes are autologous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic bone grafts, which although effective imply a number of limitations: the need to remove bone from another location in the case of autologous transplants and the possibility of an immune rejection when using allogeneic or xenogeneic grafts. To overcome these limitations, cutting edge therapies for skeletal regeneration of bone defects are currently under extensive research with promising results; such as those boosting endogenous bone regeneration, by the stimulation of host cells, or the ones driven exogenously with scaffolds, biomolecules, and mesenchymal stem cells as key players of bone healing process.

Abstract
The efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids are essential for meaningful therapeutic benefits. The field of nanomedicine shows promising implications in the development of therapeutics by delivering diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. Nanomedicine development has led to significant advances in the design and engineering of nanocarrier systems with supra-molecular structures. Smart mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with excellent biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and site-specific functionalization, offer efficient and high loading capacity as well as robust and targeted delivery of a variety of payloads in a controlled fashion. Such unique nanocarriers should have great potential for challenging biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, bioimaging techniques, stem cell research, and cancer therapies. However, in vivo applications of these nanocarriers should be further validated before clinical translation. To this end, this review begins with a brief introduction of MSNs properties, targeted drug delivery, and controlled release with a particular emphasis on their most recent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The biomedical translational applications of functionalized nanoparticles require comprehensive studies on their effect on human stem cells. Here, we have tested neat star-shaped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (s-MSN) and their chemically functionalized derivates; we examined nanoparticles (NPs) with similar dimensions but different surface chemistry, due to the amino groups grafted on silica nanoparticles (s-MSN-NH2), and gold nanoseeds chemically adsorbed on silica nanoparticles (s-MSN-Au). The different samples were dropped on glass coverslips to obtain a homogeneous deposition differing only for NPs' chemical functionalization and suitable for long-term culture of human Bone Marrow-Mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and Adipose stem cells (hASCs). Our model allowed us to demonstrate that hBM-MSCs and hASCs have comparable growth curves, viability, and canonical Vinculin Focal adhesion spots on functionalized s-MSN-NH2 and s-MSN-Au as on neat s-MSN and control systems, but also to show morphological changes on all NP types compared to the control counterparts. The new shape was stem-cell-specific and was maintained on all types of NPs. Compared to the other NPs, s-MSN-Au exerted a small genotoxic effect on both stem cell types, which, however, did not affect the stem cell behavior, likely due to a peculiar stem cell metabolic restoration response.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) in the form of hydroxyapatite (HA) have been extensively studied in the context of bone regeneration due to their chemical similarity to natural bone mineral. While HA is known to promote osteogenic differentiation, the structural properties of the ceramic have been shown to affect the extent of this effect; several studies have suggested that nanostructured HA can improve the bioactivity. However, the role shape plays in the osteogenic potential is more elusive. Here we studied the effect of HA nanoparticle shape on the ability to induce osteogenesis in human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) by developing nanoparticle films using needle-, rice- and spherical-shaped HA. We showed that the HA films made from all three shapes of nanoparticles induced increased levels of osteogenic markers (i.e. runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN) on protein and gene level in comparison to hMSCs cultured on cover glass slides. Furthermore, their expression levels and profiles differed significantly as a function of nanoparticle shape. We also showed that nanoparticle films were more efficient in inducing osteogenic gene expression in hMSCs compared to adding nanoparticles to hMSCs in culture media. Finally, we demonstrated that hMSC morphology upon adhesion to the HA nanoparticle films is dependent on nanoparticle shape, with hMSCs exhibiting a more spread morphology on needle-shaped nanoparticle films compared to hMSCs seeded on rice- and spherical-shaped nanoparticle films. Our data suggests that HA nanoparticle films are efficient in inducing hMSC osteogenesis in basic cell culture conditions and that nanoparticle shape plays a vital role in cell adhesion and morphology and extent of induction of osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the surface characteristics and composition that may enhance osteoblasts viability on novel electrospun composite membranes (organic polymer/silicon dioxide nanoparticles). METHODS Membranes are composed by a novel polymer blend, the mixture of two hydrophilic copolymers 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate-co-methylmethacrylate and 2-hydroxyethylacrylate-co-methylacrylate, and they are doped with silicon dioxide nanoparticles. Then the membranes were functionalized with zinc or doxycycline. The membranes were morphologically characterized by atomic force and scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and mechanically probed using a nanoindenter. Biomimetic calcium phosphate precipitation on polymeric tissues was assessed. Cell viability tests were performed using human osteosarcoma cells. Cells morphology was also studied by FESEM. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Student-Newman-Keuls and Student t tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS Silica doping of membranes enhanced bioactivity and increased mechanical properties. Membranes morphology and mechanical properties were similar to those of trabecular bone. Zinc and doxycycline doping did not exert changes but it increased novel membranes bioactivity. Membranes were found to permit osteoblasts proliferation. Silica-doping favored cells proliferation and spreading. As soon as 24 h after the seeding, cells in silica-doped membranes were firmly attached to experimental tissues trough filopodia, connected to each other. The cells produced collagen and minerals onto the surfaces. CONCLUSIONS Silica nanoparticles enhanced surface properties and osteoblasts viability on electrospun membranes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The ability of silica-doped matrices to promote precipitation of calcium phosphate, together with their mechanical properties, observed non-toxicity, stimulating effect on osteoblasts and its surface chemistry allowing covalent binding of proteins, offer a potential strategy for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Introduction The bone regeneration of endosseous implanted biomaterials is often impaired by the host immune response, especially macrophage-related inflammation which plays an important role in the bone healing process. Thus, it is a promising strategy to design an osteo-immunomodulatory biomaterial to take advantage of the macrophage-related immune response and improve the osseointegration performance of the implant. Methods In this study, we developed an antibacterial silver nanoparticle-loaded TiO2 nanotubes (Ag@TiO2-NTs) using an electrochemical anodization method to make the surface modification and investigated the influences of Ag@TiO2-NTs on the macrophage polarization, osteo-immune microenvironment as well as its potential molecular mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. Results The results showed that Ag@TiO2-NTs with controlled releasing of ultra-low-dose Ag+ ions had the excellent ability to induce the macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype and create a suitable osteo-immune microenvironment in vitro, via inhibiting PI3K/Akt, suppressing the downstream effector GLUT1, and activating autophagy. Moreover, Ag@TiO2-NTs surface could improve bone formation, suppress inflammation, and promote osteo-immune microenvironment compared to the TiO2-NTs and polished Ti surfaces in vivo. These findings suggested that Ag@TiO2-NTs with controlled releasing of ultra-low-dose Ag+ ions could not only inhibit the inflammation process but also promote the bone healing by inducing healing-associated M2 polarization. Discussion Using this surface modification strategy to modulate the macrophage-related immune response, rather than prevent the host response, maybe a promising strategy for implant surgeries in the future.
