Dr. Wang plans to continue studying the effects of TNF and IL - 17 on melanocytes, and would like to expand the research to 3D skin models — fabricated samples of tissue in vitro that behave like human skin — that would give a better visual of how the melanin production process is being disrupted by these two cytokines during skin inflammation or wound healing.

In volunteers who received a BCG vaccination, she observed an increase in cytokine production (proteins that control immune cells) and in the number of receptors that play a role during the recognition of intruders.

Thus, a series of studies have shown that marital conflict alters physiological functioning, and hostile behavior, particularly during conflict, markedly enhances adverse physiological changes; moreover, women appear to be more adversely affected than men.5 In this study, we extended this line of research to assess how hostile marital behavior modulated an important health outcome, wound healing, as well as local and systemic proinflammatory cytokine production.

Couples» interpersonal behavior, wound healing, and local and systemic changes in proinflammatory cytokine production were assessed during each research unit admission.
