Reciprocal macrophage-MSC crosstalk drives immunomodulatory and regenerative phenotypes in a mineralized collagen scaffold

Vasiliki Kolliopoulos, Maxwell Polanek, Hashni Epa Vidana Gamage…·Brendan A.C. Harley

This study shows that MSC-macrophage interactions in a mineralized collagen scaffold drive immunomodulatory and regenerative responses through IL-6 secretion and M2-like macrophage polarization.

Mineralized collagen scaffold pore architecture and glycosaminoglycan content biases anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype

Vasiliki Kolliopoulos, Hashni Epa Vidana Gamage, Maxwell Polanek…·Brendan A.C. Harley

This study shows how scaffold pore size, alignment, and glycosaminoglycan content influence macrophage polarization toward M2-like phenotypes in 3D mineralized collagen scaffolds.
