Boston University’s Biological Design Center and Department of Biomedical Engineering and Harvard University’s The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering collaborate to create a model to understand the human wound healing process better. They used an in-vitro model with human cells to replicating the wound closing process and how tissue forms to close the wound. This is significant for future research on disease and drug development. Through their model, they were able to have a controlled environment to study tissue formation. Their ultimate goal is to create better models to capture human disease and human physiology, according to Professor Jeroen, who is the main researcher for this project.
