  • Inhibition

  • Feedback restoration
  • Rhythm restoration

Activation1

  • Skin lipid receptors may trigger internal signals that reduce damage in distant tissues

    Where this hypothesis actsViable skin cells in a prospectively defined subset of aging humans; receptor and responding cell identities unresolved

    What is proposedActivate receptor signaling to alter endogenous mediator output

    With whatSmall molecule

    HowApply a topical lipid formulation; the lipid, receptor, endogenous mediator, effective dose and application schedule remain unresolved

    Possible resultPossible reduction in remote damage formation with preserved function, independently of physical barrier restoration
