Supplementation2

  • A microbial protease may limit skin inflammation through a nerve-to-immune signal

    Where this hypothesis actsLocal signalling between sensory nerve endings and immune cells in ageing skin

    What is proposedRestore local CGRP signalling

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowLocal restoration of the CGRP signal; the delivery method is not stated

    Possible resultPossible recovery of the protective signal despite neuronal PAR1 being switched off

  • Repeated fractional treatment may slow skin recovery by injuring regrowing sensory axons

    Where this hypothesis actsDenervated skin in a proposed preclinical experiment

    What is proposedRestore CGRP signaling despite persistent denervation

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowNot stated in the record

    Possible resultPossible partial recovery of barrier and repair responses, with sensory deficits remaining
