Probiotic biofilm modified scaffolds for facilitating osteomyelitis treatment through sustained release of bacteriophage and regulated macrophage polarization by Junwei Su, Yifan Wu, Zheng Wang, Dong Zhang, Xianquan Yang, Yong Zhao, Aixi Yu

“…More importantly, the inactivated LR biofilm stimulates macrophages RAW264.7 to polarize towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, creating an immune microenvironment favorable for inducing osteogenic differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. In a rat model of infectious cranial defects, the scaffold not only effectively eliminated S. aureus and alleviated associated inflammation but also mediated macrophage-mediated immunoregulation, thus resulting in effective osteogenesis. …”
