Blockade1

  • Cooling may prolong sweating by slowing the shutdown of receptor signals inside endosomes

    Where this hypothesis actsInside eccrine sweat gland cell endosomes after heat exposure, when blood flow falls before sweating stops

    What is proposedSelectively terminate persistent endosomal receptor signalling

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowDevelop a spatially selective intervention against endosomal signalling while preserving the initial response and cell-surface receptor function

    Possible resultPossible stabilization of SPV_8 and reduced subsequent water loss while preserving sufficient sweating during heating
