    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Dr. Suniti’s research is in the area of proteoglycan and hyaluronan-CD44 cell signaling and her laboratory focuses on the role of hyaluronan matrices in inflammatory pathologies and cancer. Specifically, she is examining the hyaluronan interactions with variants of cell surface receptors in promoting fibroblasts to myofibroblast phenotypes and their involvement in regulating inflammatory processes.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
