Chitosan drives anti-inflammatory macrophage polarisation and pro-inflammatory dendritic cell stimulation

Macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) share the same precursor and play key roles in immunity. Modulation of their behaviour to achieve an optimal host response towards an implanted device is still a challenge. Here we compare the differentiation process and polarisation of these related cell populat...
