Function preservation1

  • Renewal signals turn lingering ultraviolet damage into lasting mutations in aged skin

    Where this hypothesis actsRepair-limited stimulation in photoaged skin undergoing lesion-specific photorepair

    What is proposedPreserve receptor activation and EGFR-assisted closure during photorepair

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowRemove photolesions before stimulation while matching receptor activation and cumulative divisions

    Possible resultExpected retention of EGFR-assisted closure without excess mutation fixation
