Biomolecules that impact phenotypic transitions in fibroblasts and macrophages
… biological responses. The foreign body response (FBR) is orchestrated by macrophages, wherein the phenotypes of these macrophages exist plastically along a spectrum from M1, proinflammatory macrophages to M2a, anti-inflammatory, pro-wound healing macrophages, and M2c, regulatory macrophages. The …
