PLoS Pathog
. 2019 Mar;
15(3):e1007511.
PMID: 30893371
While much is known about acute infection pathogenesis, the understanding of chronic infections has lagged. Here we sought to identify the genes and functions that mediate fitness of the pathogen...

Wound Repair Regen
. 2012 May;
20(3):342-52.
PMID: 22564229
Bacterial biofilm has been shown to play a role in delaying wound healing of chronic wounds, a major medical problem that results in significant health care burden. A reproducible animal...

J Biomed Mater Res A
. 2011 Jun;
98(4):499-508.
PMID: 21681942
The sinus between skin and a percutaneous medical device is often a portal for infection. Epidermal integration into an optimized porous biomaterial could seal this sinus. In this study, we...

Wound Repair Regen
. 2010 Aug;
18(5):467-77.
PMID: 20731798
Chronic wounds are a major clinical problem that lead to considerable morbidity and mortality. We hypothesized that an important factor in the failure of chronic wounds to heal was the...

PMID: 18413645
Epithelialization of normal acute wounds occurs by an orderly series of events whereby keratinocytes migrate, proliferate, and differentiate to restore barrier function. The keratinocytes in the epidermis of chronic ulcers...
