Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived components are emerging sources for the engineering of
biomaterials that are capable of inducing desirable cell-specific responses. This review …

Decellularized materials (DMs) are attracting more and more attention because of their
native structures, comparatively high bioactivity, low immunogenicity and good …

Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues,
linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers …

The host response to biomaterials is a critical determinant of their success or failure in tissue‐
repair applications. Macrophages are among the first responders in the host response to …

Biomaterials based on natural materials including decellularized tissues and tissue-derived
hydrogels are becoming more widely used for clinical applications. Because of their native …

Macrophage presence and phenotype are critical determinants of the healing response
following injury. Downregulation of the pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype has been …

Hydrogels derived from decellularized lungs are promising materials for tissue engineering
in the development of clinical therapies and for modeling the lung extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Restoration of lost neuronal function after spinal cord injury (SCI) still remains a big
challenge for current medicine. One important repair strategy is bridging the SCI lesion with …

Suppression of the recipient immune response is a common component of tissue and organ
transplantation strategies and has also been used as a method of mitigating the …

Biomaterials play a core role in cartilage repair and regeneration. The success or failure of
an implanted biomaterial is largely dependent on host response following implantation. Host …
