Single cell characterization of the biomaterial immune and stromal response
Description: This proposal will use single cell analysis to evaluate immune cells that respond to different biomaterials that model tissue repair versus fibrosis. The results will provide new tools for identifying cells that may be present in many diseases. It will also increase our understanding of how the body responds to medical implants, differences between male and female responses, and new therapeutic targets to enhance tissue repair or reduce fibrosis.
