Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael N. Cooper's research investigates mechanisms of lymphatic function and regeneration, particularly in the context of lymphedema and burn scar treatment. His work has explored the role of Piezo1 mechanotransduction in lymphatic expansion and the impact of <scp>RXRα</scp> in lymphatic endothelial cells on lymphangiogenesis and lymphedema prevention. Cooper has also examined treatments for hypertrophic burn scars, including laser therapy, and the use of tissue expanders in calvarial reconstruction. His research extends to studies on military veterans, investigating the relationship between combat history, concussion, and mental health outcomes, including suicide ideation, as well as perceptual-motor performance using virtual reality. He has published 15 works, with 180 citations, and holds an h-index of 6. Cooper collaborates with several colleagues at Arkansas State University, including Rachel Wilkins, Cheryl Knight, S. L. Bruce, and Amy Shollenbarger.
