Investigating the role and molecular mechanisms of two distinct cell death modalities in cutaneous regenerative and neoplastic inflammation Ghent University
Acute and chronic wounds predispose tissues to tumour formation, but the association between
reparative and neoplastic immune responses is poorly understood. In this project, we aim to
understand the role of two immune mediators, namely HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box-1) and
ATG (autophagy-related gene) 16L1, in the initiation and progression of non-melanoma skin
tumours.
My preliminary data show that NETosis, a ...
