Derailed Cellular Choreography in the Skin Ulcer Niche: Roadblocks to Repair
In-person only
Chronic wounds are a major clinical challenge, traditionally thought to be “stuck” in inflammation. Our lab is redefining this view by investigating the underlying mechanisms that prevent effective tissue repair. Using experimental models and human samples, we are identifying key cellular and molecular pathways that drive repair failure, including changes in the perivascular niche. These insights challenge existing dogma and reveal new opportunities to improve outcomes for patients with chronic wounds.
