Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Reagan Dugan's research investigates the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in biological processes, with a focus on its application in tissue engineering and disease modeling. Dugan has explored the decellularization of peripheral nerves to create ECM hydrogels for <i>in vitro</i> use. This work aims to develop improved models for studying cell behavior and disease progression.

More recently, Dugan's work has examined the mechanisms by which pancreatic tumor extracellular vesicles may induce perineural invasion, a process relevant to cancer metastasis. This research utilizes <i>in vitro</i> models to understand cell signaling pathways, specifically the involvement of IL-8/CCL2. Dugan has published three papers and has an h-index of 2, with collaborations including Emory Gregory and Young Hye Song at the University of Arkansas.
