Funded Activity Summary

Impaired wound healing is a major problem for diabetics, who often suffer with chronic unresolved wounds with serious effects on their quality of life and mortality. We have recently discovered a new pathway involving sphingolipids that shows great promise to improve wound healing in diabetics. In this project we will examine the targeting of this pathway, using existing and newly developed agents, to improve wound healing in advanced pre-clinical models of diabetes.
