Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Sheet (ADSCs) Combined with an Advanced Collagen Matrix for Treatment of Chronic, Non-healing Diabetic Skin wounds

This project aims to develop a new stem cell-based therapy for non-healing diabetic ulcers using a full-thickness skin defect animal model of type 2 diabetes. Bioactive cell sheets based on electrochemically aligned collagen matrix combined with ADSCs will be used to treat chronic, non-healing wounds.

Enhancing the Efficacy of a Chlamydia Subunit Vaccine Through
Encapsulation

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is the world's leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and the most commonly reported STD in the U.S. and Texas. Chlamydia infection may result in pelvic inflammatory disease, complications such as ectopic pregnancy and infertility in women, in addition to epididymitis in men, pneumonia in infants, and even blindness. A peptide, or protein-based, vaccine candidate has been demonstrated to have a high degree of efficacy in two animal models of genital chlamydial infection.
