Rhythm restoration1

  • Synchronized skin cell division may let wet friction cause lasting damage through chromosome errors

    Where this hypothesis actsRecovering skin when sweating and friction coincide with peak basal keratinocyte division

    What is proposedShift mechanical load outside the peak of mitosis

    With whatChange of environment or regimen

    HowReschedule load while preserving sweat quantity, friction work and heat dissipation

    Possible resultPossible prevention of mitotic errors and delayed barrier deterioration, with stabilization of SPV_4
