Inhibition1

  • Washing before friction may fuse skin cells and increase damage from later stress

    Where this hypothesis actsLiving keratinocytes in recovering epidermis of people aged 40–60 after washing followed by friction

    What is proposedPrevent keratinocyte fusion

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowNot stated in the record

    Possible resultExpected stabilization of SPV_3, possibly at the cost of slower initial wound closure
