Neutralisation1

  • Active bacterial lipids left after clearance renew inflammation after injury

    Where this hypothesis actsPersistent fully acylated material after Gram-negative clearance, during a subsequent mild injury

    What is proposedReduce lipid A agonist activity through deacylation

    With whatProtein or peptide as the agent

    HowRestore acyloxyacyl hydrolase activity through local enzyme supplementation or expression

    Possible resultPossible prevention of renewed inflammation and differentiation loss after a subsequent mild injury
