AbstractCytokines are proteins that regulate cell identity and function. Repair of wounds repair requires coordinated interactions among multiple cytokines. This CAREER project will address a fundamental question in wound repair: which inflammatory cytokines determine whether a wound heals or remains chronic. The project will develop a smart, biomaterial-based wound dressing that will monitor in real time various cytokine patterns in the wound environment. The data will enable machine learning predictio
