Recent work proposed that ice nucleation activity is a common feature of proteins and may arise through defective folding or aggregation into structures that are active ice nuclei 55
Factors affecting skin elasticity outcomes include age (younger individuals typically achieve better results), genetics (some people naturally produce more collagen), smoking status (smoking dramatically impairs collagen synthesis), hydration (well-hydrated skin remodels more effectively), and the rate and total amount of weight loss
The data generated during this phase help define the dose range that may be explored in subsequent studies and contribute to understanding exposure-response relationships, pharmacokinetic behavior and safety considerations associated with the investigational compound
