Wound healing, inflammation, lymphocytes, adaptative immunity, wound infections
Tissue repair involves adaptative immunity and the contribution of lymphocytes. The hyperinflammatory response to traumatic injury leads to aberrant wound healing, overactivation of myofibroblast, and subsequent hypertrophic scar development. My research is focused on identifying the role of the gamma-delta (γδ) resident T cells in wound healing and myofibroblast differentiation.
