Description
While the study demonstrates FIR effects in skin flaps, it’s unclear whether this TRPV3-mediated protective mechanism operates similarly across different tissues prone to ischemia, such as brain tissue in stroke. This knowledge gap limits translation to neurological ischemic conditions where similar pyroptosis mechanisms may be relevant.
