    Topical, Immunomodulatory Epoxy-Tiglianes Induce Biofilm Disruption and Healing in Acute and Chronic Skin Wounds

    In vitro, the lead candidate EBC-1013 stimulated protein kinase C–dependent neutrophil reactive oxygen species induction and NETosis and increased expression of wound healing–associated cytokines, chemokines, and antimicrobial peptides in keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

    Initiation of Wound Healing Is Regulated by the Convergence of Mechanical and Epigenetic Cues

    To probe the molecular underpinnings of the mechanisms linking mechanical cues to changes in gene expression and cellular behavior, researchers used the down-regulation of caspase-8 as a biomarker of a cell entering the wound healing program.
