This study shows age and sex affect fibrosis and immune response in a mouse model of implant-induced chronic inflammation through changes in T cell and macrophage phenotypes.

This study identifies distinct senescent cell populations in human fibroids and shows their role in ECM remodeling and vascular dysfunction through single-cell RNA sequencing and functional analysis.

This study shows immune checkpoint inhibitors enhance type 2 immunity and regeneration in ECM-treated wounds by promoting Treg/TH2 plasticity and pro-regenerative macrophages.

This study shows antibiotic-induced microbiota depletion in mice impairs the pro-regenerative immune response to a biological scaffold, reducing myocyte regeneration and increasing fibrosis.

This study investigates how PLA degradation products affect macrophage metabolism and inflammation, showing distinct metabolic responses to amorphous and semi-crystalline PLA.
