Check Your EligibilityThe overall aim of this research is to utilize wound derived inflammatory cells from diabetic versus non diabetic human chronic wounds to understand mechanisms that are responsible for disregulated inflammation in individuals with diabetes. Biology of normal (peripheral blood derived cells) versus wound derived cells will also be studied.
