Brief description Diabetic foot ulcers are a common and costly complication associated with Diabetes. Current treatments are only modestly effective in promoting healing, and in many cases amputation is necessary. Through this project we will develop a new treatment strategy that involves the combination of adult stem cells and powerful signal molecules to promote robust diabetic foot ulcer repair.
