Table 1 Par2 modulation experiments conducted in the same tissue assigned according to the observed phenotype. Note that in the cases in which the damage is mediated by the immune system, Par2 has an aggravating role, while in the cases in which the damage is inflicted directly to the tissue, Par2 activation alleviates the damage
