  Emerging evidence suggests that macrophages play diverse but essential roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes,ranging from wound healing,bone repair to cancer metastasis[1-3].Designing polymeric biomaterials tools to modulate the fate of macrophages and harness their functions may provide new approaches to solve various unmet medical challenges.
