© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Combined advances in modern medical practice and increased human longevity are driving an ever-expanding elderly population. Females are particularly at risk of age-associated pathology, spending more of their lives in a post-men... Read More about The role of estrogen in cutaneous ageing and repair.

Cutaneous Nod2 expression regulates the skin microbiome and wound healing in a murine model (2017)
Journal Article
Williams, H., Crompton, R. A., Thomason, H. A., Campbell, L., Singh, G., McBain, A. J., …Hardman, M. J. (2017). Cutaneous Nod2 expression regulates the skin microbiome and wound healing in a murine model. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 137(11), 2427-2436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jid.2017.05.029

The skin microbiome exists in dynamic equilibrium with the host but when the skin is compromised, bacteria can colonise the wound and impair wound healing. Thus the interplay between normal skin-microbial interactions versus pathogenic-microbial inte...

Comparing the effectiveness of polymer debriding devices using a porcine wound biofilm model (2016)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, H. N., McBain, A. J., Stephenson, C., & Hardman, M. J. (2016). Comparing the effectiveness of polymer debriding devices using a porcine wound biofilm model. Advances in wound care, 5(11), 475-485. https://doi.org/10.1089/wound.2015.0683

Objective: Debridement to remove necrotic and/or infected tissue and promote active healing remains a cornerstone of contemporary chronic wound management. While there has been a recent shift toward less invasive polymer-based debriding devices, thei...

Oestrogen promotes healing in a bacterial LPS model of delayed cutaneous wound repair (2016)
Journal Article
Crompton, R., Williams, H., Ansell, D., Campbell, L., Holden, K., Cruickshank, S., & Hardman, M. J. (2016). Oestrogen promotes healing in a bacterial LPS model of delayed cutaneous wound repair. Laboratory investigation, 96(4), 439-449. https://doi.org/10.1038/labinvest.2015.160

Wound infection is a major clinical problem, yet understanding of bacterial host interactions in the skin remains limited. Microbe-derived molecules, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns, are recognised in barrier tissues by pattern-recogn...

Ectodysplasin A Pathway Contributes to Human and Murine Skin Repair (2016)
Journal Article
Garcin, C. L., Huttner, K. M., Kirby, N., Schneider, P., & Hardman, M. J. (2016). Ectodysplasin A Pathway Contributes to Human and Murine Skin Repair. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 136(5), 1022-1030. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jid.2015.09.002

The highly conserved ectodysplasin A (EDA)/EDA receptor signaling pathway is critical during development for the formation of skin appendages. Mutations in genes encoding components of the EDA pathway disrupt normal appendage development, leading to... Read More about Ectodysplasin A Pathway Contributes to Human and Murine Skin Repair.

Hair Follicle Bulge Stem Cells Appear Dispensable for the Acute Phase of Wound Re-epithelialization (2016)
Journal Article
Garcin, C. L., Ansell, D. M., Headon, D. J., Paus, R., & Hardman, M. J. (2016). Hair Follicle Bulge Stem Cells Appear Dispensable for the Acute Phase of Wound Re-epithelialization. STEM CELLS, 34(5), 1377-1385. https://doi.org/10.1002/stem.2289

The cutaneous healing response has evolved to occur rapidly, in order to minimize infection and to re-establish epithelial homeostasis. Rapid healing is achieved through complex coordination of multiple cell types, which importantly includes specific...

Global Gene Expression Analysis in PKCalpha-/- Mouse Skin Reveals Structural Changes in the Dermis and Defective Wound Granulation Tissue (2015)
Journal Article
Cooper, N. H., Balachandra, J. P., & Hardman, M. J. (2015). Global Gene Expression Analysis in PKCalpha-/- Mouse Skin Reveals Structural Changes in the Dermis and Defective Wound Granulation Tissue. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 135(12), 3173-3182. https://doi.org/10.1038/jid.2015.338

The skin's mechanical integrity is maintained by an organized and robust dermal extracellular matrix (ECM). Resistance to mechanical disruption hinges primarily on homeostasis of the dermal collagen fibril architecture, which is regulated, at least i...

Estrogen receptor-alpha promotes alternative macrophage activation during cutaneous repair (2014)
Journal Article
Campbell, L., Emmerson, E., Williams, H., Saville, C. R., Krust, A., Chambon, P., …Hardman, M. J. (2014). Estrogen receptor-alpha promotes alternative macrophage activation during cutaneous repair. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 134(9), 2447-2457. https://doi.org/10.1038/jid.2014.175

Efficient local monocyte/macrophage recruitment is critical for tissue repair. Recruited macrophages are polarized toward classical (proinflammatory) or alternative (prohealing) activation in response to cytokines, with tight temporal regulation cruc...
