Rhythm or programme
Cell competition
Interactions between cell populations that influence their relative growth and expansion
Hypotheses on this target 1
Inhibition
Activation1
Function preservation
Feedback restoration
Rhythm restoration
Direct measurement
Activation1
Competition may block skin repair by preventing functional epidermal cells from expanding
Where this hypothesis actsBasal keratinocytes competing with damaged neighboring cells in ageing epidermis
What is proposedRestore competition that permits functionally competent keratinocytes to expand
With whatNot stated in the record
HowNot stated in the record
Possible resultPossible epidermal renewal, followed by delayed dermal recovery and normalization across all five domains
