Abstract Naturally‐derived cell membranes have shown great promise in functionalizing nanoparticles to enhance biointerfacing functions for drug delivery applications. However, its potential macroporous scaffolds tissue regeneration vivo remains unexplored. Engineering with immunomodulatory represents an exciting strategy but is largely limited soft tissues. Critical‐sized bone defects cannot heal on their own, and the role of adaptive immune cells scaffold‐mediated healing cranial unknown....

Tissue-derived extracellular matrix (tdECM) hydrogels serve as effective scaffolds for tissue regeneration by promoting a regenerative immune response. While most tdECM are nanoporous and tailored soft tissue, macroporosity is crucial bone regeneration. Yet, there's shortage of macroporous ECM-based this purpose. The study aims to address gap developing co-spinning technique integrate bone-derived ECM (bECM) into gelatin-based, microribbon (µRB) scaffolds. effect varying doses bECM on...
