Macrophages are key drivers of inflammatory and fibrotic diseases and their activation is shaped by interactions in their tissue microenvironment. However, dissecting the processes that drive immunopathology has proved challenging as traditional 2D culture methods fail to capture the complex mole...
Bone regeneration requires spatiotemporal coordination of immune modulation, stem cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis, yet most scaffolds lack sequential control across healing phases. We develop a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive therapeutic platform that integrates clinically av...
Chronic, drug-resistant bone infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) features an immunosuppressive niche enabling persistent infection and impaired bone healing. Specific treatment requires initial antibacterial immune activation against infection, followed by resha...
