About

Dr. DiPietro explores the mechanisms of angiogenesis in relation to skin/dermal wound healing. A major focus in her laboratory is to address the question why some blood vessels regress. In this regard, DiPietro lab is exploring the mechanism by which apoptotic endothelial cells might influence fibroblast function, thereby connecting vascular overgrowth, vascular regression, EC apoptotic load, and fibrosis/scar formation.
