The role of bacteria in the skin: Cold atmospheric plasma for the treatment of pathological skin healing Apr 1, 2017 - Mar 31, 2020
Chronic wounds remain a major area of unmet clinical need, with infection a principle contributing factor to wound chronicity. This project builds upon strong preliminary data suggesting that healing outcome can be directly linked to both wound micro...
