Ti2C-cryogel ECP induced pro-healing M2 macrophage polarization in the MI region. A) Expression of M1 macrophage-specific marker CD68 (green) and M2 macrophage-specific marker CD163 (red) in the MI region after 28 days of transplantation. scale bars = 50 μm. B) Quantification of the corresponding CD68 and CD163 level. n = 3. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. 0 represented the Ti2C-free cryogel ECP group, 4 represented the Ti2C-4-cryogel ECP group, and 8 represented the Ti2C-8-cryogel ECP group.
