  • Lower level
  • Synthesis suppression
  • Neutralisation1
  • Supplementation
  • Accelerated excretion

Neutralisation1

  • Living replacement cells can sustain tissue injury by releasing toxic histones

    Where this hypothesis actsReleased by viable replacement parenchymal cells after a transient clearance deficit

    What is proposedNeutralize replacement-derived extracellular histones

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowSelective extracellular neutralization while preserving graft viability, proliferation, geometry, and mechanical confinement

    Possible resultPossible termination of the injury–secretion loop and restoration of histone clearance
