Parsing Inflammatory Cues in Angiogenesis using Bioactive Hydrogels

Both angiogenesis and inflammation are inescapable in vivo responses to any type of biomaterials implanted for regeneration. Continuous progress has been made in biomaterial design to facilitate tissue interactions with an implant by reducing inflammation and/or by inducing angiogenesis. However, it...
