Human adipose ECM alleviates radiation-induced skin fibrosis via endothelial cell-mediated M2 macrophage polarization

Summary: Radiation therapy can lead to late radiation-induced skin fibrosis (RISF), causing movement restriction, pain, and organ dysfunction. This study evaluated adipose-derived extracellular matrix (Ad-ECM) as a mitigator of RISF. Female C57BL/6J mice that were irradiated developed fibrosis, whic...
