Postoperative treatment of bone tumors faces numerous challenges, the most prominent of which is the high recurrence rate of tumors. This is closely related to the inability of implants to effectively reverse the polarization state of M2 macrophages and the loss of tumor phagocytosis caused by residual tumor cells. M2 macrophages play an immunosuppressive role … Read more
