Faculty/Staff Detail

Theresa Curtis, Biological Sciences Department, and Eric Plante ’15, are coauthors on the manuscript “Microencapsulated equine mesenchymal stromal cells promote cutaneous wound healing in vitro” that recently was published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy. The results demonstrate that stem cells might be a promising new therapy for impaired skin wounds, and encapsulation of the stem cells is a suitable way to deliver a continuous supply of the healing factors to the wound. This research was performed in collaboration with researchers from the Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University.
