Stimulated endothelial cells treated with neutrophils

 

The Panitch lab focuses on the design of biopolymers that improve tissue healing and regeneration. We focus on both intracellular and extracellular approaches to direct molecular and cellular processes. Broadly, our goal is to limit scar formation, be it vascular intimal hyperplasia, glial scarring, dermal scarring, fibrocartilage, or surgical adhesions, while promoting tissue repair.
