Activation1

  • Resident daughter cells may restrain epithelial invaders by replacing their renewing positions

    Where this hypothesis actsResident–invader boundaries during epithelial renewal and repeated repair in older humans

    What is proposedRestore resident-daughter replacement of viable invader cells in renewing positions

    With whatCell therapy

    HowRescue resident output or incorporation with competent fusion-incompetent cells; independently check mature function and future progenitor reserve

    Possible resultPossible restraint of absolute renewing-invader growth while maintaining mature function and future reserve
