Phoebe Kirkwood co-authors paper on role of mononuclear phagocytes in endometrial repair.
The study investigated the role of a type of immune cells, namely macrophages, in scarless endometrial repair and remodelling.
The data provide the first compelling evidence to support a role for different populations of monocytes/macrophages in endometrial repair and provide the platform for future studies on the role of these cells in scarless healing. The work was performed by Tissue Repair PhD student Phoebe Kirwood following on from work started by Dr Fiona Cousins who mentored Phoebe during the first 6 months of her PhD project. The paper was published in Scientific Reports (Couins FL et al, doi: 10.1038/srep36748) and can be accessed on the Nature Publishing Group website below.
