Abstract |
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, facilitated by biomaterial-based therapies, hold promise for the repair, replacement, or regeneration of damaged tissue. The success or failure of all implanted biomaterials, ranging from stainless steel total joint replacements to naturally or synthetically derived skin grafts, is predominantly mediated by macrophages, the primary cell of the innate immune system. In an effort to better assess safety and efficacy of novel biomaterials, evaluating and understanding macrophage-biomaterial interactions is a necessary first step. Here, we describe the culture of macrophages on 3D biomaterials, such as decellularized human cortical bone or commercially available wound matrices, and subsequent analysis using gene expression and protein secretion to help understand how biomaterial properties may influence macrophage phenotype in vitro. |
