| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the role of secreted protein MFG-E8 in wound healing, tumor angiogenesis, fibrosis. Based on the results of this study, we found that MFG-E8 enhances angiogenesis, regulates macrophages, resulting in the acceleration of wound healing, promoting tumor growth, and inhibition of fibrosis. If we can further elucidate the mechanism by which MFG-E8 regulates wound healing, tumor angiogenesis and fibrosis, it will help to understand the pathogenesis of refractory ulcer, malignant tumor, scleroderm, and it can be expected to contribute greatly to the development of new therapy.
