Positional Information and Repair of Skin Injury
Grantee: Peter Reddien, Professor, Whitehead Institute, Cambridge
Amount: DKK 2,498,235
Grant category: Research Grants in open competition
Year: 2021
Geography: USA
The project aims to investigate if an untapped potential for true skin regeneration exists in vertebrates not known to have the capacity to regrow skin tissue. If indeed such capacity exists and if it can be reactivated it may be possible to regenerate fully functional skin without any scarring.
Peter Reddien and his team at Whitehead Institute will look at the so-called “regional identity” of new cells which is central to regeneration in many animals capable of regeneration. They will use sophisticated techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to compare factors and signaling pathways central to development in skin. Mouse skin – a vertebrate not known to be able to regenerate – and skin from a special regenerative salamander (axolotl) are used as models.
Peter Reddien’s research project is a basic skin science project with a novel approach to understanding the skin’s potential for regeneration.
The LEO Foundation awards DKK 14 million to five new skin research projects
