Partial burn injury in older patients is associated with higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and conversion to full thickness (Finnerty et al., 2009; Pham 2009). Both human mouse models demonstrate an altered systemic immune response subjects, however less known about the localized (Jeschke 2016; Farinas 2018; Mohs 2017). We hypothesized that a model could differences inflammatory old.Six old (66 weeks) young (8 mice received partial thermal burns. Localized expression nine chemokines...
