macrophages

[Advanced Healthcare Materials] A platelet lysate-rich plasma macroporous hydrogel scaffold with around 100 μm pore size and 1.25 MPa Young's modulus was developed to sustainedly recruit and polarize endogenous anti-inflammatory macrophages for improving cartilage defect repair.

[Blood Advances] The authors investigated the roles of zebrafish colony-stimulating factor receptor (Csf1rs) and their ligands - Csf1a, Csf1b and Il34, in embryonic and adult myelopoiesis.

[Cell Death & Differentiation] Researchers investigated the role of Ninj1 in physiological and pathological conditions and developed a strategy to regulate Ninj1 using specific miRNAs under pathological conditions.

[Nature Biomedical Engineering] Investigators reported that a hydrogel serving as a high-capacity drug depot and combining a dissipative tough matrix on one side and a chitosan adhesive surface on the other side supported tendon gliding and strong adhesion to tendon on opposite surfaces of the hydrogel.

[Acta Biomaterialia] Scientists assessed the local and systemic innate immune responses to implantation of biphasic calcium phosphate biomaterial alone, or with bone marrow derived MSC, in critical-sized calvarial bone defects of Lewis rats.

[Proteome Science] Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and obtained macrophages were transformed into foam cells by oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
