Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Impaired diabetic wound healing is associated with abnormal stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1α production, decreased angiogenesis, and chronic inflammation. Lentiviral-mediated overexpression of SDF-1α can correct the impairments in angiogenesis and healing in diabetic wounds. We hypothesized that SDF-1α is a critical component of the normal wound-healing response and that inhibition of SDF-1α would...
