Rhythm restoration
Clearance restoration1
Conflating immune suppression with active resolution may explain an apparent benefit of delay
Where this hypothesis actsDuring active inflammation resolution in healing skin
What is proposedPreserve antimicrobial immune activity during active inflammation resolution
With whatNot stated in the record
HowKeep microorganism removal intact; verify microbial control with functional assays rather than cytokine reduction alone
Possible resultPossible avoidance of impaired microbial control and secondary tissue damage that delay healing

Feedback restoration1
Rapid repair can silence infection alarms before microbes are controlled
Where this hypothesis actsDuring epithelial repair while viable infection persists
What is proposedMaintain antimicrobial activity according to viable burden independently of injury signals
With whatNot stated in the record
HowUse a separately controlled immune input to maintain measured pre-withdrawal antimicrobial activity without changing epithelial closure or permeability
Possible resultPossible prevention of microbial rebound as injury-associated alarm activity falls
