Fibrosis research group

Fibrotic diseases are widespread and difficult to treat diseases in the world. Our research focuses on Dupuytren’s disease that is a common chronic fibrotic disease of the palm. As the disease progresses, thickening of the palmar connective tissue leads to permanent flexion deformities of the fingers. The cause of Dupuytren’s disease is not known and currently there are no approved treatment to control the progression of early-stage disease.
