Carbamylation may turn protective cathelicidins into tissue-damaging molecules
Where this hypothesis actsHaematopoietic stem cell inflammatory memory before repeated infectious episodes
What is proposedPreserve protective memory while limiting cathelicidin carbamylation
With whatNot stated in the record
HowKeep memory intact while restricting the subsequent chemical modification of its peptide products
Possible resultPossible retention of antimicrobial protection with less tissue damage

Interleukin-6 from blood-forming stem cells may sustain organ damage while preserving defense
Where this hypothesis actsDescendants of hematopoietic stem cells with inflammatory memory, during repeated infection episodes
What is proposedPreserve the descendants' protective antimicrobial memory
With whatNot stated in the record
HowRestrict interleukin-6 suppression to stem cells while retaining mature myeloid cell abundance, chromatin state and early antimicrobial activity
Possible resultPossible preservation of rapid antimicrobial protection while chronic organ damage decreases
