This project aims to result in the identification of such markers, and the development of a feasible quantitative method of distinguishing between tissue that has the capacity to heal and tissue that does not, thus identifying a non-healing phenotype.
The goal of this project is to identify objective, quantitative biological and molecular markers that correlate with healing outcomes for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using debrided tissue of patients with wounds. This project aims to result in the identification of such markers, and the development of a feasible quantitative method of distinguishing between tissue that has the capacity to heal and tissue that does not, thus identifying a non-healing phenotype. The ability to differentiate between healing and non-healing tissue at the onset of wound care will allow for the use of targeted therapies and earlier initiation of aggressive treatments where indicated.
Both male and female patients at Winthrop University Hospital over the age of 18 with Type 2 Diabetes and a Diabetic Foot Ulcer are eligible for enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects in this group will have tissue specimens collected from their Diabetic Foot Ulcer during Standard of Care debridement.
Other: Specimen Collection
Skin tissue samples will be collected from subjects undergoing routine surgical procedures during which normal skin is removed
Other: Specimen Collection
. In this study, diabetic patients undergoing DFU debridement under the standard of care will be asked for their permission to collect the debrided tissue for use in scientific research.
To identify objective, quantitative biological and molecular markers that correlate with healing outcomes for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using debrided tissue of patients with wounds
