Upon entry into the parenchyma, these cells initiate a secondary immune response, releasing inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and toxic substances, aggravating myelin and axonal damage [263]
Where peptides do show promise in skin The positive evidence is strongest for selected topical signal peptides, although the improvements tend to be modest and the studies are often small, short-term or industry-associated
