Plain-English identity
What is KPV?
Experimental studies examine inflammatory-cell migration, cytokine signalling, epithelial barriers, skin models and gastrointestinal inflammation.
The strongest evidence is laboratory and animal research. KPV is not an approved treatment, and findings from experimental models cannot establish effects in people.
