Back Cover: Polysaccharide-based materials have been used as hydrogel substrates, surface coatings, and drug delivery carriers. The newly endowed physical and chemical properties, including substrates stiffness, topology/porosity, surface binding chemistry, embedded drugs, and hybrid materials, can regulate macrophage phenotypes more precisely. This is reported by Zhuqing Li and Kaitlin M. Bratlie in article number 2100031.
