Research project studying how PRC1 regulates epidermal basal cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity during wound healing, aiming to improve chronic wound treatment.
Description
The project investigates the role of the chromatin regulator PRC1 in wound healing, focusing on its regulation of epidermal basal cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP). The research aims to elucidate mechanisms controlling the transcriptional switch during wound repair, with potential implications for chronic wound treatment.
