Linda M McManus, Ph.D.

Professor Emerita

Parenchymal tissue injury initiates a rapid cascade of tightly-regulated cellular events designed to repair and/or regenerate the damaged tissue.  These events include a dynamic interplay between cells with regenerative capacity and diverse inflammatory cells; bone marrow-derived cells are critical to these processes.  Current research efforts focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms which regulate inflammation and the regeneration of murine skeletal muscle.
