  2. Methods Diabetic patients (type I & II) suffering from a chronic ulcer in the lower limb (failed to heal >2 months after debut) were included in the study. This presentation gives preliminary data from biomarker analyses in 3 patients who failed to heal and 2 patients who healed completely within 15 weeks of observation. Venous blood samples were taken at every visit in pre-chilled tubes (EDTA) and centrifuged in a refrigerated centrifuge, aliquoted to cryotubes and stored at -85oC until analysis. Data are given as mean values. Results are preliminary.

  3. Biochip Multi-spot ECL Technology (MesoscaleDiscovery, USA) This high resolution technique is based on electrochemical stimulation of the electrode surface of multi-spot plates. Antibodies directed against specific biomarkers are attached to a pure non-chargeable carbon surface which eliminates disturbing background activity. Bioluminescence is induced by current and measured by a CCL-camera. Methods

  4. Fibroblast Growth Factor • The FGF family is composed of 23 members. We analysed FGF-2 or basicFGF. Formation of granulation tissue Keratinocytes Chondrocytes Re-epithelialization basicFGF Smooth muscle cells Endothelial cells Tissue remodelling Fibroblasts Mast cells

  5. VEGFR-1 is required for organization of blood vessels. Released upon injury from activated platelets and from macrophages during wound healing Non-healers
