Abstract
The skin serves as the body's outermost barrier and is the largest organ, providing protection not only to the body but also to various internal organs. Owing to continuous exposure to various external factors, it is susceptible to damage that can range from simple to severe, including serious types of wounds such as burns or chronic wounds. Macrophages play a crucial role in the entire wound-healing process and contribute significantly to skin regeneration. Initially, M1 macrophages infiltrate to phagocytose bacteria, debris, and dead cells in fresh wounds. As tissue repair is activated, M2 macrophages are promoted, reducing inflammation and facilitating restoration of the dermis and epidermis to regenerate the tissue. This suggests that extracellular matrix (ECM) promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, migrationand macrophage polarization. Among the numerous strategies, electrospinning is a versatile technique for obtaining ECM-mimicking structures with anisotropic and isotropic topologies of micro/nanofibers. Various electrospun biomaterials influence macrophage polarization based on their isotropic or anisotropic topologies. Moreover, these fibers possess a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, promoting the effective exchange of vital nutrients and oxygen, which are crucial for cell viability and tissue regeneration. Micro/nanofibers with diverse physical and chemical properties can be tailored to polarize macrophages toward skin regeneration and wound healing, depending on specific requirements. This review describes the significance of micro/nanostructures for activating macrophages and promoting wound healing.

Abstract
A key element in ensuring successful immunization is the efficient delivery of vaccines. However, poor immunogenicity and adverse inflammatory immunogenic reactions make the establishment of an efficient vaccine delivery method a challenging task. The delivery of vaccines has been performed via a variety of delivery methods, including natural-polymer-based carriers that are relatively biocompatible and have low toxicity. The incorporation of adjuvants or antigens into biomaterial-based immunizations has demonstrated better immune response than formulations that just contain the antigen. This system may enable antigen-mediated immunogenicity and shelter and transport the cargo vaccine or antigen to the appropriate target organ. In this regard, this work reviews the recent applications of natural polymer composites from different sources, such as animals, plants, and microbes, in vaccine delivery systems.

Electrospun fiber-based strategies for controlling early innate immune cell responses: Towards immunomodulatory mesh designs that facilitate robust tissue repair. Acta Biomater 2022; 163:228-247. [PMID: 35675893 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Electrospun fibrous meshes are widely used for tissue repair due to their ability to guide a host of cell responses including phenotypic differentiation and tissue maturation. A critical factor determining the eventual biological outcomes of mesh-based regeneration strategies is the early innate immune response following implantation. The natural healing process involves a sequence of tightly regulated, temporally varying and delicately balanced pro-/anti-inflammatory events which together promote mesh integration with host tissue. Matrix designs that do not account for the immune milieu can result in dysregulation, chronic inflammation and fibrous capsule formation, thus obliterating potential therapeutic outcomes. In this review, we provide systematic insights into the effects of specific fiber/mesh properties and mechanical stimulation on the responses of early innate immune modulators viz., neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. We identify matrix characteristics that promote anti-inflammatory immune phenotypes, and we correlate such responses with pro-regenerative in vivo outcomes. We also discuss recent advances in 3D fabrication technologies, bioactive functionalization approaches and biomimetic/bioinspired immunomodulatory mesh design strategies for tissue repair and wound healing. The mechanobiological insights and immunoregulatory strategies discussed herein can help improve the translational outcomes of fiber-based regeneration and may also be leveraged for intervention in degenerative diseases associated with dysfunctional immune responses. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The crucial role played by immune cells in promoting biomaterial-based tissue regeneration is being increasingly recognized. In this review focusing on the interactions of innate immune cells (primarily neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages) with electrospun fibrous meshes, we systematically elucidate the effects of the fiber microenvironment and mechanical stimulation on biological responses, and build upon these insights to inform the rational design of immunomodulatory meshes for effective tissue repair. We discuss state-of-the-art fabrication methods and mechanobiological advances that permit the orchestration of temporally controlled phenotypic switches in immune cells during different phases of healing. The design strategies discussed herein can also be leveraged to target several complex autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
As central part of the innate immune response, immune cells fight against invaders through various mechanisms, such as the release of extracellular traps (ETs). While this mechanism is mainly known for neutrophils in biomaterial contact, the release of macrophage extracellular traps (METs) in response to biomaterials has not yet been reported. An important application area for biomaterials is bone, where healing of defects of a critical size requires the implantation of grafts, which are often composed of calcium phosphates (CaPs). In this study, the response of human monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro to two different CaPs (α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)) as well as different pore structures was investigated. Scaffolds with anisotropic porosity were prepared by directional freezing, while samples with isotropic pore structure served as reference. It was revealed that ETs are released by human monocyte-derived macrophages in direct or indirect contact with CaP scaffolds. This was caused by mineral nanoparticles formed during incubation of α-TCP samples in culture medium supplemented with human platelet lysate, with an anisotropic pore structure attenuating MET formation. METs were significantly less pronounced or absent in association with CDHA samples. It was furthermore demonstrated that MET formation was accompanied by an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, this study provided the first evidence that macrophages are capable of releasing ETs in response to biomaterials.

Abstract
Abstract
The immune system protects organisms against endogenous and exogenous harm and plays a key role in tissue development, repair, and regeneration. Traditional immunomodulatory biologics exhibit limitations including degradation by enzymes, short half-life, and lack of targeting ability. Encapsulating or binding these biologics within biomaterials is an effective way to address these problems. Hydrogels are promising immunomodulatory materials because of their prominent biocompatibility, tuneability, and versatility. However, to take advantage of these opportunities and optimize material performance, it is important to more specifically elucidate, and leverage on, how hydrogels affect and control the immune response. Here, we summarize how key physical and chemical properties of hydrogels affect the immune response. We first provide an overview of underlying steps of the host immune response upon exposure to biomaterials. Then, we discuss recent advances in immunomodulatory strategies where hydrogels play a key role through a) physical properties including dimensionality, stiffness, porosity, and topography; b) chemical properties including wettability, electric property, and molecular presentation; and c) the delivery of bioactive molecules via chemical or physical cues. Thus, this review aims to build a conceptual and practical toolkit for the design of immune-instructive hydrogels capable of modulating the host immune response.

Abstract
Tissue repair after trauma and infection has always been a difficult problem in regenerative medicine. Hydrogels have become one of the most important scaffolds for tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and water solubility. Especially, the stiffness of hydrogels is a key factor, which influence the morphology of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their differentiation. The researches on this point are meaningful to the field of tissue engineering. Herein, this review focus on the design of hydrogels with different stiffness and their effects on the behavior of MSCs. In addition, the effect of hydrogel stiffness on the phenotype of macrophages is introduced, and then the relationship between the phenotype changes of macrophages on inflammatory response and tissue repair is discussed. Finally, the future application of hydrogels with a certain stiffness in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering has been prospected.
