Inhibition1

  • Infection leaves chromosome damage that causes delayed tissue loss during repair

    Where this hypothesis actsSurviving epithelial progenitors with chromosome damage during regeneration after infection

    What is proposedReversibly delay cell-cycle entry to test whether division determines injury timing

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowUse an experimental, reversible delay; the technique is not stated. Assess recovery after release because preventing proliferation also prevents repair

    Possible resultExpected shift in injury onset matching the delay, with division-associated injury returning unless lesions resolve
