Research project funded by NIAMS to study how different skin cells respond to mustard-induced injury, focusing on fibroblasts and potential treatments including cobinamide.
Description
This project aims to investigate the cellular heterogeneity in response to mustard-induced skin injury, focusing on dermal fibroblasts and their role as early sensors of mustard exposure. The study employs state-of-the-art techniques and a multidisciplinary team to develop effective countermeasures against mustard-induced skin injury.
