Macrophage functional polarization (M1/M2) in response to varying fiber and pore dimensions of electrospun scaffolds
Open accessAbstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of fiber and pore size of an electrospun scaffold on the polarization of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMΦs) towards regenerative (M2) or inflammatory (M1) phenotypes. BMMΦs were seeded on Polydioxanone (PDO) scaffolds electrospun from varying polymer concentrations (60, 100, and 140 mg/ml). Higher polymer concentrations yielded larger diameter fibers with larger pore sizes and porosity. BMMΦ cultured on these scaffolds showed a correlation between increasing fiber/pore size and increased expression of the M2 marker Arginase 1 (Arg1), along with decreased expression of the M1 marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Secretion of the angiogenic cytokines VEGF, TGF-β1 and bFGF was higher among cultures employing larger fiber/pore size scaffolds (140 mg/ml). Using a 3D in vitro angiogenesis bead assay, we have demonstrated that the M2-like profile of BMMΦ induced by the 140 mg/ml is functional. Furthermore, our results show that the pore size of a scaffold is a more critical regulator of the BMMΦ polarization compared to the fiber diameter. The study also shows a potential role for MyD88 in regulating M1 BMMΦ signaling on the large vs. small fiber/pore size PDO scaffold. These data are instructive for the rationale design of implantable prosthetics designed to promote in situ regeneration.

In vitro BMMΦ responses to PDO scaffolds predict in vivo regeneration.
“These data are instructive for the rationale design of implantable prosthetics designed to promote in situ regeneration.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The differences in BMMΦ response across PDO scaffolds are due to fiber/pore size rather than other scaffold properties.
“BMMΦ cultured on these scaffolds showed a correlation between increasing fiber/pore size and increased expression of the M2 marker Arginase 1 (Arg1), along with decreased expression of the M1 marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).”

An M2 macrophage phenotype promotes healing and integration of the biomaterial with the host tissue, enhancing tissue regeneration.
“Such a functional M2 phenotype is likely to promote healing and integration of the biomaterial with the host tissue to enhance tissue regeneration.”

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
M0 sprout-length fold change has a zero baseline
MinorThe paper reports no sprouting for M0-conditioned media from the 60 mg/ml scaffold. A sprout length at 140 mg/ml therefore cannot be described as 200-fold the length at 60 mg/ml.
“Overall it was observed that M0s induced a ~200 fold higher and M2s induced a ~2 fold higher length of sprout from the 140 mg/ml compared to the 60 mg/ml PDO scaffolds.”
“No sprouting was observed from the conditioned media of M0s cultured on the 60 mg/ml scaffold.”
M0 sprout-density fold change has a zero baseline
MinorWith no sprouting reported for M0-conditioned media from the 60 mg/ml scaffold, its density of sprouts is zero. The reported 94-fold density comparison against that scaffold is consequently undefined.
“Compared to the 60 mg/ml scaffolds, the 140 mg/ml scaffolds induced a 94 fold higher density of sprouts from M0s, 7 fold higher density of sprouts from M1s and 17 fold higher density of sprouts from M2s.”
“No sprouting was observed from the conditioned media of M0s cultured on the 60 mg/ml scaffold.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
