Macrophages are immune cells involved in wound healing and tissue regeneration; however, the sustained presence of proinflammatory macrophages in wound sites impairs healing. In this study, we shifted peritoneal macrophage polarization away from a proinflammatory (M1) phenotype through exposure to stabilized interleukin-4 (IL-4) in poly(lactic-<i>co</i>-glycolic acid) films in combination with topographical guidance from electrospun poly-L-lactic acid fibers. To our knowledge, this was the first ...[more]
