Function restoration1

  • Poor coupling of energy use to protein repair may shorten skin’s warning time before damage

    Where this hypothesis actsIn keratinocytes under combined thermal and pressure load

    What is proposedRestore coupling between ATP hydrolysis and productive protein repair

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowAlter Hsp70 cofactor ratios to restore productive cycling while preserving overall cellular metabolism

    Possible resultPossible longer interval before tissue damage without shifting the sensory warning threshold
