Brief description Scarring causes significant morbidity and suffering. It can lead to pain, disfigurement and impaired physical function, which require costly ongoing care. Flightless (Flii) is a novel protein, which acts as a negative regulator of wound healing. Flii neutralising antibody treatment has been shown to improve wound healing. However, the role of Flii in scarring has yet to be investigated. This project will investigate the role of Flii in scarring and its potential as a therapeutic target.
