Sweat can leave lasting chemical damage in aged skin after conditioning breaks
Where this hypothesis actsExposed extracellular proteins in susceptible photoaged skin after maintenance interruption creates microerosions
What is proposedPrevent sweat-derived cyanate from carbamylating extracellular proteins
With whatChange of environment or regimen
HowRemove urea from otherwise composition-matched artificial sweat; add it back to test whether protein modification and mechanical impairment return
Possible resultPossible preservation of mechanical and repair competence, stabilization of SPV_12 and prevention of SPV_11 escalation
