Abstract
The rational design of hydrogel materials to modulate the immune microenvironment has emerged as a pivotal approach in expediting tissue repair and regeneration. Within the immune microenvironment, an array of immune cells exists, with macrophages gaining prominence in the field of tissue repair and regeneration due to their roles in cytokine regulation to promote regeneration, maintain tissue homeostasis, and facilitate repair. Macrophages can be categorized into two types: classically activated M1 (pro-inflammatory) and alternatively activated M2 (anti-inflammatory and pro-repair). By regulating the physical and chemical properties of hydrogels, the phenotypic transformation and cell behavior of macrophages can be effectively controlled, thereby promoting tissue regeneration and repair. A full understanding of the interaction between hydrogels and macrophages can provide new ideas and methods for future tissue engineering and clinical treatment. Therefore, this paper reviews the effects of hydrogel components, hardness, pore size, and surface morphology on cell behaviors such as macrophage proliferation, migration, and phenotypic polarization, and explores the application of hydrogels based on macrophage immune regulation in skin, bone, cartilage, and nerve tissue repair. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of macrophage-based immunomodulatory hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
Skin wounds significantly impact the global health care system and represent a significant burden on the economy and society due to their complicated dynamic healing processes, wherein a series of immune events are required to coordinate normal and sequential healing phases, involving multiple immunoregulatory cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, since dysfunction of these cells may impede skin wound healing presenting persisting inflammation, impaired vascularization, and excessive collagen deposition. Therefore, cellular target-based immunomodulation is promising to promote wound healing as cells are the smallest unit of life in immune response. Recently, immunomodulatory hydrogels have become an attractive avenue to promote skin wound healing. However, a detailed and comprehensive review of cellular targets and related hydrogel design strategies remains lacking. In this review, the roles of the main immunoregulatory cells participating in skin wound healing are first discussed, and then we highlight the cellular targets and state-of-the-art design strategies for immunomodulatory hydrogels based on immunoregulatory cells that cover defect, infected, diabetic, burn and tumor wounds and related scar healing. Finally, we discuss the barriers that need to be addressed and future prospects to boost the development and prosperity of immunomodulatory hydrogels.

Abstract
We have developed a functionalized silk fibroin (BSF) that can serve as an improved fundamental material for dressings by specifically capturing growth factors secreted during the healing process and supplying them to cells accumulated in the wound area to enhance the tissue regeneration efficiency. When considering the design of heparin-modified BSF, there is a difficulty with binding to high-molecular-weight polysaccharides without disrupting the hydrophobic crystalline structure of the BSF. In this study, a low-molecular-weight pharmaceutical heparin, dalteparin, was selected and cross-linked with the tyrosine residue presence in the BSF non-crystalline region. When targeting 3D porous applications like nanofiber sheets, as it is crucial not only to enhance biological activity but also to improve handling by maintaining stability in water and mechanical strength, a trade-off between improved cell affinity and reduced mechanical strength depending on crystalline structure was evaluated. The use of dalteparin maintained the mechanical strength better than unfractionated heparin by reducing the effect on disturbing BSF recrystallization. Film surface hydrophilicity and cell proliferation induction were significantly higher in the dalteparin group. For BSF functionalization, using purified heparin was an effective approach that achieved a balance between preserving the mechanical properties and induction of tissue regeneration, offering the potential for various forms in the future.

Abstract
Hydrogels represent intricate three-dimensional polymeric structures, renowned for their compatibility with living systems and their ability to naturally degrade. These networks stand as promising and viable foundations for a range of biomedical uses. The practical feasibility of employing hydrogels in clinical trials has been well-demonstrated. Among the prevalent biomedical uses of hydrogels, a significant application arises in the context of wound healing. This intricate progression involves distinct phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, often triggered by trauma, skin injuries, and various diseases. Metabolic conditions like diabetes have the potential to give rise to persistent wounds, leading to delayed healing processes. This current review consolidates a collection of experiments focused on the utilization of hydrogels to expedite the recovery of wounds. Hydrogels have the capacity to improve the inflammatory conditions at the wound site, and they achieve this by diminishing levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby exhibiting antioxidant effects. Hydrogels have the potential to enhance the growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes at the wound site. They also possess the capability to inhibit both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, effectively managing wounds infected by drug-resistant bacteria. Hydrogels can trigger angiogenesis and neovascularization processes, while also promoting the M2 polarization of macrophages, which in turn mitigates inflammation at the wound site. Intelligent and versatile hydrogels, encompassing features such as pH sensitivity, reactivity to reactive oxygen species (ROS), and responsiveness to light and temperature, have proven advantageous in expediting wound healing. Furthermore, hydrogels synthesized using environmentally friendly methods, characterized by high levels of biocompatibility and biodegradability, hold the potential for enhancing the wound healing process. Hydrogels can facilitate the controlled discharge of bioactive substances. More recently, there has been progress in the creation of conductive hydrogels, which, when subjected to electrical stimulation, contribute to the enhancement of wound healing. Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder, leads to a slowdown in the wound healing process, often resulting in the formation of persistent wounds. Hydrogels have the capability to expedite the healing of diabetic wounds, facilitating the transition from the inflammatory phase to the proliferative stage. The current review sheds light on the biological functionalities of hydrogels, encompassing their role in modulating diverse mechanisms and cell types, including inflammation, oxidative stress, macrophages, and bacteriology. Additionally, this review emphasizes the significance of smart hydrogels with responsiveness to external stimuli, as well as conductive hydrogels for promoting wound healing. Lastly, the discussion delves into the advancement of environmentally friendly hydrogels with high biocompatibility, aimed at accelerating the wound healing process.

Abstract
In 2010, the FDA approved the administration of FTY720, S1P lipid mediator, as a therapy to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. FTY720 was found to sequester pro-inflammatory lymphocytes within the lymph node, preventing them from causing injury to the central nervous system due to inflammation. Studies harnessing the anti-inflammatory properties of FTY720 as a pro-regenerative strategy in wound healing of muscle, bone and mucosal injuries are currently being performed. This in-depth review discusses the current regenerative impact of FTY720 due to its anti-inflammatory effect stratified into an assessment of wound regeneration in the muscular, skeletal, and epithelial systems. The regenerative effect of FTY720 in vivo was characterized in three animal models, with differing delivery mechanisms emerging in the last 20 years. In these studies, local delivery of FTY720 was found to increase pro-regenerative immune cell phenotypes (neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes), vascularization, cell proliferation and collagen deposition. Delivery of FTY720 to a localized wound environment demonstrated increased bone, muscle, and mucosal regeneration through changes in gene and cytokine production primarily by controlling the local immune cell phenotypes. These changes in gene and cytokine production reduced the inflammatory component of wound healing and increased the migration of pro-regenerative cells (neutrophils and macrophages) to the wound site. The application of FTY720 delivery using a biomaterial has demonstrated the ability of local delivery of FTY720 to promote local wound healing leveraging an immunomodulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Non-targeted persistent immune activation or suppression by different drug delivery platforms can cause adverse and chronic physiological effects including cancer and arthritis. Therefore, non-toxic materials that do not trigger an immunogenic response during delivery are crucial for safe and effective in vivo treatment. Hydrogels are excellent candidates that can be engineered to control immune responses by modulating biomolecule release/adsorption, improving regeneration of lymphoid tissues, and enhancing function during antigen presentation. This review discusses the aspects of hydrogel-based systems used as drug delivery platforms for various diseases. A detailed investigation on different immunomodulation strategies for various delivery options and deliberate upon the outlook of such drug delivery platforms are conducted.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) has attracted attention as a base biomaterial that could be suitable in many applications because of its shape and structure. Highly functional SF has been developed to promote tissue regeneration with heparin conjugation. However, the hydrophobic three-dimensional structure of SF makes it difficult to bind to high-molecular-weight and hydrophilic compounds such as heparin. In this study, sufficient heparin modification was achieved using tyrosine residues as reaction points to improve cellular response. As it was considered that there was a trade-off between the improvement of water wettability and cell responsiveness induced by heparin modification, influences on the structure, and mechanical properties, the structure and physical properties of the SF conjugated with heparin were extensively evaluated. Results showed that increased amounts of heparin modification raised heparin content and water wettability on film surfaces even though SF formation was not inhibited. In addition, the proliferation of endothelial cells and fibroblasts were enhanced when a surface with sufficient heparin assumed its potential in assisting wound healing. This research emphasizes the importance of material design focusing on the crystal structure inherent in SF in the development of functionalized SF materials.

Abstract
Management of antibiotic-resistant bacteria-induced skin infections for rapid healing remains a critical clinical challenge. Photothermal therapy, which uses mediated hyperthermia to combat such problems, has recently been recognised as a promising approach to take. In this study, bacterial cellulose-based photothermal membranes were designed and developed to combat bacterial infections and promote rapid wound healing. Polydopamine was incorporated into gold nanoparticles to produce superior dual-photothermal behaviour. The in vitro antibacterial efficacy of the prepared composite membranes against S. aureus, E. coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) could reach 99% under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. In addition, the synthesised nanocomposite exhibited good biocompatibility in vitro as demonstrated by a cell survival ratio of >85%. The effectiveness of the composite membranes on wound healing was further investigated in a murine model of MRSA-infected wounds, focusing on the effect of photothermal temperature. According to the detailed therapeutic mechanism study undertaken, the composite membranes cause bacterial killing initially and promote the transition from the inflammatory phase to proliferation by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production, promoting collagen deposition, and stimulating angiogenesis. Considering their remarkable effectiveness and facile fabrication process, it is expected that these novel materials could serve as competitive multifunctional dressings in the management of infectious wounds and accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues related to abnormal immune responses.

Abstract
With all the advances in tissue engineering for construction of fully functional skin tissue, complete regeneration of chronic wounds is still challenging. Since immune reaction to the tissue damage is critical in regulating both the quality and duration of chronic wound healing cascade, strategies to modulate the immune system are of importance. Generally, in response to an injury, macrophages switch from pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, controlling macrophages' polarization has become an appealing approach in regenerative medicine. Recently, hydrogels-based constructs, incorporated with various cellular and molecular signals, have been developed and utilized to adjust immune cell functions in various stages of wound healing. Here, the current state of knowledge on immune cell functions during skin tissue regeneration is first discussed. Recent advanced technologies used to design immunomodulatory hydrogels for controlling macrophages' polarization are then summarized. Rational design of hydrogels for providing controlled immune stimulation via hydrogel chemistry and surface modification, as well as incorporation of cell and molecules, are also dicussed. In addition, the effects of hydrogels' properties on immunogenic features and the wound healing process are summarized. Finally, future directions and upcoming research strategies to control immune responses during chronic wound healing are highlighted.

Abstract
All implanted biomaterials are targets of the host's immune system. While the host inflammatory response was once considered a detrimental force to be blunted or avoided, in recent years, it has become a powerful force to be leveraged to augment biomaterial-tissue integration and tissue repair. In this review, we will discuss the major immune cells that mediate the inflammatory response to biomaterials, with a focus on how biomaterials can be designed to modulate immune cell behavior to promote biomaterial-tissue integration. In particular, the intentional activation of monocytes and macrophages with controlled timing, and modulation of their interactions with other cell types involved in wound healing, have emerged as key strategies to improve biomaterial efficacy. To this end, careful design of biomaterial structure and controlled release of immunomodulators can be employed to manipulate macrophage phenotype for the maximization of the wound healing response with enhanced tissue integration and repair, as opposed to a typical foreign body response characterized by fibrous encapsulation and implant isolation. We discuss current challenges in the clinical translation of immunomodulatory biomaterials, such as limitations in the use of in vitro studies and animal models to model the human immune response. Finally, we describe future directions and opportunities for understanding and controlling the biomaterial-immune system interface, including the application of new imaging tools, new animal models, the discovery of new cellular targets, and novel techniques for in situ immune cell reprogramming.

Polysaccharides (derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms) are known to modulate macrophage phenotypes by recognizing cell membrane receptors. Numerous studies have developed polysaccharide-based materials into functional biomaterial substrates for tissue regeneration and pharmaceutical application due to their immunostimulatory activities and anti-inflammatory response. They are used as hydrogel substrates, surface coatings, and drug delivery carriers. In addition to their innate immunological functions, the newly endowed physical and chemical properties, including substrate modulus, pore size/porosity, surface binding chemistry, and the mole ratio of polysaccharides in hybrid materials may regulate macrophage phenotypes more precisely. Growing evidence indicates that the sulfation pattern of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans expressed on polarized macrophages leads to the changes in protein binding, which may alter macrophage phenotype and influence the immune response. A comprehensive understanding of how different types of polysaccharide-based materials alter macrophage phenotypic changes can be beneficial to predict transplantation/implantation outcomes. This review focuses on recent advances in promoting wound healing and balancing macrophage phenotypes using polysaccharide-based substrates/coatings and new directions to address the limitations in the current understanding of macrophage responses to polysaccharides.

Abstract
Historically, the field of regenerative medicine has aimed to heal damaged tissue through the use of biomaterials scaffolds or delivery of foreign progenitor cells. Despite 30 years of research, however, translation and commercialization of these techniques has been limited. To enable mammalian regeneration, a more practical approach may instead be to develop therapies that evoke endogenous processes reminiscent of those seen in innate regenerators. Recently, investigations into tadpole tail regrowth, zebrafish limb restoration, and the super-healing Murphy Roths Large (MRL) mouse strain, have identified ancient oxygen-sensing pathways as a possible target to achieve this goal. Specifically, upregulation of the transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor one alpha (HIF-1α) has been shown to modulate cell metabolism and plasticity, as well as inflammation and tissue remodeling, possibly priming injuries for regeneration. Since HIF-1α signaling is conserved across species, environmental or pharmacological manipulation of oxygen-dependent pathways may elicit a regenerative response in non-healing mammals. In this review, we will explore the emerging role of HIF-1α in mammalian healing and regeneration, as well as attempts to modulate protein stability through hyperbaric oxygen treatment, intermittent hypoxia therapy, and pharmacological targeting. We believe that these therapies could breathe new life into the field of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Inflammation after traumatic injury or surgical intervention is both a protective tissue response leading to regeneration and a potential cause of wound complications. One potentially successful strategy to harness to pro-regenerative roles of host inflammation is the localized delivery of bioactive materials to induce immune suppressive cellular responses by cells responding to injury. In this study, we designed a fully synthetic poly (ethylene) glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel to release the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator aspirin-triggered resolvin-D1 (AT-RvD1) and recombinant human interleukin 10 (IL-10). We utilized a unique side-by-side internally controlled implant design wherein bioactive hydrogels were implanted adjacent to control hydrogels devoid of immune modulatory factors in the dorsal skinfold window chamber. We also explored single-immune cell data with unsupervised approaches such as SPADE. First, we show that RGD-presenting hydrogel delivery results in enhanced immune cell recruitment to the site of injury. We then use intra-vital imaging to assess cellular recruitment and microvascular remodeling to show an increase in the caliber and density of local microvessels. Finally, we show that the recruitment and re-education of mononuclear phagocytes by combined delivery IL-10 and AT-RvD1 localizes immune suppressive subsets to the hydrogel, including CD206+ macrophages (M2a/c) and IL-10 expressing dendritic cells in the context of chronic inflammation following surgical tissue disruption. These data demonstrate the potential of combined delivery on the recruitment of regenerative cell subsets involved in wound healing complications.

Abstract
Skin regeneration is a vexing problem in the field of regenerative medicine. A bioactive molecule-based strategy has been frequently used in skin wound healing in recent years. Bioactive molecules are practical tools for regulating cellular processes and have been applied to control cellular differentiation, dedifferentiation, and reprogramming. In this review, we focus on recent progress in the use of bioactive molecules in skin regenerative medicine, by which desired cell types can be generated in vitro for cell therapy and conventional therapeutics can be developed to repair and regenerate skin in vivo through activation of the endogenous repairing potential. We further prospect that the bioactive molecule-base method might be one of the promising strategies to achieve in situ skin regeneration in the future.

Abstract
The microvasculature in the pancreatic islet is highly specialized for glucose sensing and insulin secretion. Although pancreatic islet transplantation is a potentially life-changing treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, a lack of blood perfusion reduces viability and function of newly transplanted tissues. Functional vasculature around an implant is not only necessary for the supply of oxygen and nutrients but also required for rapid insulin release kinetics and removal of metabolic waste. Inadequate vascularization is particularly a challenge in islet encapsulation. Selectively permeable membranes increase the barrier to diffusion and often elicit a foreign body reaction including a fibrotic capsule that is not well vascularized. Therefore, approaches that aid in the rapid formation of a mature and robust vasculature in close proximity to the transplanted cells are crucial for successful islet transplantation or other cellular therapies. In this paper, we review various strategies to engineer vasculature for islet transplantation. We consider properties of materials (both synthetic and naturally derived), prevascularization, local release of proangiogenic factors, and co-transplantation of vascular cells that have all been harnessed to increase vasculature. We then discuss the various other challenges in engineering mature, long-term functional and clinically viable vasculature as well as some emerging technologies developed to address them. The benefits of physiological glucose control for patients and the healthcare system demand vigorous pursuit of solutions to cell transplant challenges. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Insulin-dependent diabetes affects more than 1.25 million people in the United States alone. Pancreatic islets secrete insulin and other endocrine hormones that control glucose to normal levels. During preparation for transplantation, the specialized islet blood vessel supply is lost. Furthermore, in the case of cell encapsulation, cells are protected within a device, further limiting delivery of nutrients and absorption of hormones. To overcome these issues, this review considers methods to rapidly vascularize sites and implants through material properties, pre-vascularization, delivery of growth factors, or co-transplantation of vessel supporting cells. Other challenges and emerging technologies are also discussed. Proper vascular growth is a significant component of successful islet transplantation, a treatment that can provide life-changing benefits to patients.

Abstract
A cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) would help millions of people worldwide, but remains elusive thus far. Tolerogenic vaccines and beta cell replacement therapy are complementary therapies that seek to address aberrant T1D autoimmune attack and subsequent beta cell loss. However, both approaches require some form of systematic immunosuppression, imparting risks to the patient. Biomaterials-based tools enable localized and targeted immunomodulation, and biomaterial properties can be designed and combined with immunomodulatory agents to locally instruct specific immune responses. In this Review, we discuss immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms for the development of T1D tolerogenic vaccines and beta cell replacement devices. We investigate nano- and microparticles for the delivery of tolerogenic agents and autoantigens, and as artificial antigen presenting cells, and highlight how bulk biomaterials can be used to provide immune tolerance. We examine biomaterials for drug delivery and as immunoisolation devices for cell therapy and islet transplantation, and explore synergies with other fields for the development of new T1D treatment strategies.

Abstract
To examine how the chemotactic agent stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1α) modulates the unique cellular milieu within rotator cuff muscle following tendon injury, we developed an injectable, heparin-based microparticle platform to locally present SDF-1α within the supraspinatus muscle following severe rotator cuff injury. SDF-1α loaded, degradable, N-desulfated heparin-based microparticles were fabricated, injected into a rat model of severe rotator cuff injury, and were retained for up to 7 days at the site. The resultant inflammatory cell and mesenchymal stem cell populations were analyzed compared to uninjured contralateral controls and, after 7 days, the fold-change in anti-inflammatory, M2-like macrophages (CD11b+CD68+CD163+, 4.3X fold-change) and mesenchymal stem cells (CD29+CD44+CD90+, 3.0X, respectively) was significantly greater in muscles treated with SDF-1α loaded microparticles than unloaded microparticles or injury alone. Our results indicate that SDF-1α loaded microparticles may be a novel approach to shift the cellular composition within the supraspinatus muscle and create a more pro-regenerative milieu, which may provide a platform to improve muscle repair following rotator cuff injury in the future.

Abstract
Wound healing is one of the most complex processes that our bodies must perform. While our ability to repair wounds is often taken for granted, conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or simply old age can significantly impair this process. With the incidence of all three predicted to continue growing into the foreseeable future, there is an increasing push to develop strategies that facilitate healing. Biomaterials are an attractive approach for modulating all aspects of repair, and have the potential to steer the healing process towards regeneration. In this review, we will cover recent advances in developing biomaterials that actively modulate the process of wound healing, and will provide insight into how biomaterials can be used to simultaneously rewire multiple phases of the repair process.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears cause muscle degeneration that is characterized by myofiber atrophy, fatty infiltration, and fibrosis and is minimally responsive to current treatment options. The underlying pathogenesis of rotator cuff muscle degeneration remains to be elucidated, and increasing evidence implicates immune cell infiltration as a significant factor. Because immune cells are comprised of highly heterogeneous subpopulations that exert divergent effects on injured tissue, understanding trafficking and accumulation of immune subpopulations may hold the key to more effective therapies. The present study quantifies subpopulations of immune cells infiltrating the murine supraspinatus muscle after severe rotator cuff injury that includes tenotomy and denervation. Rotator cuff injury stimulates dramatic infiltration of mononuclear phagocytes, enriches mononuclear phagocytes in non-classical subpopulations, and enriches T lymphocytes in TH and Treg subpopulations. The combination of tenotomy plus denervation significantly increases mononuclear phagocyte infiltration, enriches macrophages in the non-classical subpopulation, and decreases T lymphocyte enrichment in TH cells compared to tenotomy alone. Depletion of circulating monocytes via liposomal clodronate accelerates supraspinatus atrophy after tenotomy and denervation. The study may aid rational design of immunologically smart therapies that harness immune cells to enhance outcomes after rotator cuff tears.

Abstract
The hair follicle is one of only two structures within the adult body that selectively degenerates and regenerates, making it an intriguing organ to study and use for regenerative medicine. Hair follicles have been shown to influence wound healing, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and harbor distinct populations of stem cells; this has led to cells from the follicle being used in clinical trials for tendinosis and chronic ulcers. In addition, keratin produced by the follicle in the form of a hair fiber provides an abundant source of biomaterials for regenerative medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of the structure of a hair follicle, explain the role of the follicle in regulating the microenvironment of skin and the impact on wound healing, explore individual cell types of interest for regenerative medicine, and cover several applications of keratin-based biomaterials.
