Rhythm restoration1

  • Regenerative signals may favor harmful lineages by synchronizing failures of two growth restraints

    Where this hypothesis actsOlder-adult human colonic epithelium under repeated regenerative stimulation, with a characterized harmful lineage

    What is proposedReduce simultaneous failures of independently sufficient cell-cycle restraints

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowManipulate relative timing to reduce failure overlap while preserving prespecified individual failure distributions and within-restraint temporal dependence

    Possible resultPossible reduction in harmful divisions and retained harmful descendants while preserving appropriate tissue renewal
