Finalizing SARS-CoV-2 Research

We are finalizing the publication of our last works on COVID19 research which have all completed experimentation and are being prepared for submission to scientific journals. Please refer to prior report regarding COVID19 research projects.

Biomaterials and Immunoengineering

In FY 2024 the Section on Immunoengineering continued our work on immunology in the context of tissue regeneration after traumatic injury. We published five primary research articles on our findings including 1 paper in Nature Materials in which we describe an immune cell type and pathway that have not previously been implicated in wound healing and tissue regeneration that is tied to autoimmunity and may providing an interesting link between traumatic injury and tissue damage associated with autoimmune responses. We also published on the intersection of autoimmunity, metabolism, and wound healing in mouse models using the MRL/MpJ mouse, which in wound healing literature is known as a “super healer” mouse while in autoimmunity field it is known as an autoimmune-prone mouse. This builds off of our previous published works. We also showed tissue location specific roles in shaping immune responses to biomaterial implantation and investigated early responders to injury and biomaterial implantation (eosinophils). We began some of our in vitro work and in our first publication here, showed differential fibrosis models with a research manuscript focusing on the deposition of collagen in vitro and different methods used for this approach. We are in the process of launching collaborations and continuing collaborations with outside trauma centers to better facilitate our human research and bring in data from other wound models (like pigs) that are not done at NIH.
