Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for improving wound healing and tissue regeneration. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to compositions, and methods of using such compositions, that direct the immune response within a wound towards a pro-regenerative response. Such compositions and methods are particularly useful in altering the immune response elicited by medical implants, to avoid scarring and fibrosis at the site of implantation.
