OMG - I did not know this -

Epidermal Sensing of Oxygen Is Essential for Systemic Hypoxic Response
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2008.02.038

I have not yet read the article, nor have I finished watching the video that had me look up the article:

Tissue identity and rejuvenation - going skin deep with Luis Garza!

I had to stop everything and post about this since I'm gobsmacked.

How did I not know this?
The implications for chronic illnesses could be huge.

I need to get back to my chores now, I will probably post more on this later.
