Research project funded by NIAMS to study the role of catecholaminergic neurons in skin wound healing and their impact on tissue regeneration, especially in diabetic conditions.
Description
This project explores the fundamental role of how intercellular communication networks within the skin contribute to the wound healing process and investigates how these mechanisms may become dysregulated in disease conditions such as diabetes mellitus. It aims to characterize nerve fibers within the skin, examine reinnervation post-injury, and assess neuronal function during skin repair to uncover how nerve-derived factors signal to other cell types in the injured niche to regulate tissue regeneration and potentially enhance wound healing.
