Substrate curvature influences cytoskeletal rearrangement and modulates macrophage phenotype by Austin Sovar, Matthew D. Patrick, Ramkumar T. Annamalai

“…Lat-A treatment reduced F-actin density and modulated gene expression patterns, confirming the cytoskeletal regulation of macrophage phenotype.DiscussionThese findings demonstrate that substrate curvature influences macrophage behavior by modulating cytoskeletal dynamics and associated immunophenotypic markers through actin-mediated transcriptional pathways. By controlling curvature, therapeutic biomaterials may direct immune responses, offering a new avenue for treating inflammatory diseases. …”
