Brief description of study

ARE YOU A VETERAN?  Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine and the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center are looking for adult veterans with and without diabetes to take part in a study examining the process of wound healing.

Skin samples of people who have type 2 diabetes will be compared to samples from nondiabetic adults to better understand how skin biopsy specimens (once removed from a patient and placed in a dish in the laboratory) activate an inflammatory response.

Your participation will help researchers to learn more about the body's cell response to skin injury-induced inflammation. which may lead to more effective treatments for wound healing, particularly in diabetic wounds, in the future.
