Modulating macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2 is an,increasingly explored strategy in biomaterial development. Previous work from our group, showed,that Fibrinogen (Fg) interacts with monocytes through TLR4, and promotes in vivo bone,regeneration. Also, Magnesium (Mg) ions have been reported has immunomodulatory, reducing,LPS-induced M1 macrophage polarization. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that Fg and Mg,biomaterials, used in combination could act synergistically to modulate macrophage activation,,promoting a pro-regenerative phenotype.}, note = {Online available at: \url{} (DOI).
