Non-healing wounds are a feature of aging and inflammatory metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. To some meaningful degree these injuries are the result of dysfunction in the immune system, and thus strategies targeting the behavior of immune cells might prove to be useful, particularly if resolving excessive inflammatory signaling. The paper noted here focuses on the use of biomaterials, such as the scaffolding currently used in the development of cell therapies and tissue engineering approaches, to achieve this goal of immunomodulation.
