Brief description Scarring is a significant problem after injury, and the life-long appearance of scar can be very detrimental to peoples’ wellbeing, both psychological and physical. This work will develop a new drug to improve scar appearance. The drug is likely to be effective even after scar has formed, making it possible to improve scarring in many people. This will improve the quality of life for people after injury.
