FOXO1 deletion in keratinocytes improves diabetic wound healing through MMP9 regulation
30 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Keratinocyte migration is a key aspect of re-epithelialization during wound healing. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) contributes to this process and deficiencies in the MMP9 lead to impaired healing. Inappropriate expression of MMP9 also contributes to impaired re-epithelialization. Previously we demonstrated that FOXO1 was activated in wound healing but to higher levels in diabetic wounds. To address...
